Score Display
The main area of the Score Editor window shows the notes in the edited parts on one or
several staves. Parts on different tracks are shown on different staves.
• If you are editing one or several parts on the same track, as much of them as possible
is shown on several staves, comparable with a score on paper.
• If you are editing parts on several tracks, they are put on a grand staff. A grand staff is
composed of multiple staves that are tied together by bar lines.
• The number of bars that are displayed on the screen depends on the size of the
window and the number of notes in each bar.
• The end of the last part is indicated by a double bar line.
All MIDI input is directed to one of the tracks, which is called the active staff. The active staff
is indicated by a rectangle to the left of the clef symbol.
• To change the active staff, click on the staff that you want to activate.

This section describes the principal editing operations within the Score Editor.
Improving the Score Display
When you open the Score Editor for a part that was recorded in real time, the score may
not look as legible as you expect. The Score Editor can ignore the minor time variances in
performance and make a neater score. To achieve this, the Staff Settings dialog provides
settings that determine how the program displays the music.
Staff Settings Dialog
This dialog allows you to change how Cubase displays the music.
IMPORTANT
The settings that you make in this dialog are independent for each staff (track), but common
for a piano staff that you have created with the Split option.
