RESULT
The staff labels are changed project-wide in the selected layouts.
TIP
● You can change both full and short instrument names in the Edit Instrument Names
dialog.
● Your per-layout settings for staff labels apply to each ow, not the whole project. For
example, if you want to show full staff labels on the rst system in the rst ow in your
project, but do not want to show full staff labels on the rst system of subsequent ows,
you must change the staff labels at the start of each subsequent ow individually.
