Getting the Score displayed correctly

Time Signature

Score Edit always uses the Time Signatures speciﬁed in the Master Track.

Staff Settings

When you open Score Edit for a Part played in real-time, the score may not look as

legible as you would ﬁrst expect. The Score editor can ignore the minor time vari-

ances in performance and make a neater score almost instantly. To achieve this,

there are a number of settings in a Staff Settings dialog box that determine how the

program displays the music. In this chapter we will describe the options in “regu-

lar” Cubase. Cubase Score and Audio have additional options.

There are two ways to open the Staff Settings dialog:

• Double click in the white area to the left of the staff.

• Activate a staff by clicking on the ﬁrst bar line on any of the staves in the

window. Then select “Staff Settings” from the Do pop-up menu (or, if you

are using Cubase Score VST or Cubase Audio VST, from the Score menu).

• Activate the Staff and press [Control]-[I] on the computer keyboard.

The Staff Settings dialog appears:

● The settings you do in this dialog box are independent for each Staff (Track),

but common for a piano staff which you have created by choosing the “Split”

option in the Staff Mode pop-up menu (see below).
