Working with layouts
Opening the tracks in a layout

use this function for selecting which tracks to edit.
Importing layout symbols
By selecting another layout and selecting “Get Form” from
the Functions pop-up menu below the list, you import all
Layout symbols (inserted from the Layout section in the
Symbols Inspector) from the selected layout into the cur

rent layout.
Managing layouts
• To rename a layout, select it in the list and enter the de-
sired name in the Name field to the right in the dialog.

good idea to give each layout a more informative name.
• To remove a layout you no longer need, select it in the
list and select “Remove” on the Functions pop-up menu.
• To remove all layouts for which there no longer are track
combinations, select “Clean Up” on the Functions pop-up
menu.

into account, when exporting or importing a layout.
Working with Display Transpose
You can specify for each staff in a layout whether it should
use Display Transpose. In the Score Settings dialog on the
Layout page, click in the D column to activate or deactivate
the option. Note that this setting affects this layout only.
Using layouts – an example
The following text outlines the basic steps for extracting a
musical part from a full score.
1. Prepare the entire score, including all formatting.
This might include inserting project layer block text for the score title, set-
ting the bar line type, etc.
2. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page
and enter the desired name in the Name field (for example
“Full Score”).
3. Close the Score Editor.
4. Open a single track, for example a woodwind part.
The Project layer settings automatically appear in the new single track
layout.
5. Prepare a layout for the woodwind part.
You might for example move bar lines, add endings, activate multiple
rests, etc.
• You can also import all layout symbols from the “Full
Score” layout, by opening the Score Settings dialog on
the Layout page, selecting the “Full Score” layout in the
list to the left, and selecting “Get Form” from the Func
-
tions pop-up menu (see “Importing layout symbols” on
page 657).
6. Enter the desired name for the new layout in the Name
field on the Layout page of the Score Settings dialog and
click “Apply”.
!
Be careful not to change any of the properties which
are not part of the layout. This modifies the “Full
Score”, too.
