User manual

Contains options that allow you to edit the appearance of the short instrument name.
7 Short name text editor options
Allows you to customize the font, size, and formatting of the short staff label of the
selected instrument.
8 Short name text editing area
Shows the current short staff label for the selected instrument, as it appears in
Abbreviated staff labels. You can select any part of the instrument name and edit it
independently of other parts, for example, if you want to add additional information on a
new line and in italics.
Staff labels are right-aligned by default, so appear at the right edge of the text editing
area.
9 Show transposition
Allows you to choose when the transposition is shown in the instrument name for the
selected instrument. It is common to see the transposition included in the name of
transposing instruments, such as Clarinet in B♭.
You can choose when the transposition is shown from the following options:
● Always: instrument transpositions are shown even if you have chosen to hide them
on the Staves and Systems page in Setup > Layout Options.
● Follow Layout Options: instrument transpositions can be hidden and shown,
depending on your per-layout settings in Layout Options.
● Never: instrument transpositions are never shown, even if you have chosen to show
them in Layout Options.
10 Save as default for instrument
Activating the checkbox saves your changes in the dialog as the default for any new
instruments of that type that you add to the project.
11 Reset to Default
Removes all your changes to staff labels for the selected instrument type and reverts them
to the default settings.
