Staff names
You can make settings for staff names in several places:
• In the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page, you
specify whether the staff names are shown at all and
whether to use the names of the actual edited tracks in the
score.
In a multi-track layout, you can choose for which tracks the staff names
are shown by clicking in the “N” column for each track.
• You specify a long and short staff name in the Score
Settings dialog, on the Staff page (Main tab).
These are used if you do not use the “From Tracks” option on the Layout
page of the Score Settings dialog. The long name is displayed for the first
system only, and the short name for the following systems. If you want a
name at the top of the page only, leave the “Short” name field empty.
To select a font for staff names, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Project page
and select the Text Settings subpage.
2. Select the Project Text tab.
3. Use the “Font for” pop-up menu to select “Staff
Names”.
4. Select font, size, and styles for the staff names (or use
a text attribute set).
5. Click Apply and close the Score Settings dialog.
Additional staff name settings
• If you activate the “Show Track Names to Left of staff”
option in the Score Settings dialog on the Project–Notation
Style subpage (Staff Names category), the staff names are
shown to the left of the staves, instead of above them.
• You can define separate subnames for the upper and
the lower staff in a polyphonic or split system, see “Staff
names” on page 588.
• You can fine-tune the vertical and horizontal position of
staff names with some of the options on the Project–
Spacing subpage of the Score Settings dialog.
Bar Numbers
Bar Number settings can be made in several places as
well.
General settings
1. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Project page
and select the Notation Style subpage.
2. Scroll down the list to the “Bar Numbers” category.

numbers are shown.
The options are “First Bar” (bar numbers shown for the first bar on each
staff), “Off” (no bar numbers shown) and any number. Click in the Status
column and use the mouse wheel to select the desired option.
4. If you like, activate the “Show Range with Multi-Rests”
option.
When this is activated, and you have a multi-rest, the bar number at the

multi-rest.

bar lines, activate the “Below Bar Lines” option.
