Show Braces in Edit Mode

Unlock Layout When Editing Single Parts

If there is more than one part on a track, and you open the Score Editor for one of these parts, the other parts are displayed as empty space to preserve the layout. If this option is activated, this empty space is avoided, so you can print this single part without endless rests.

Note

This option erases the layout for the whole track. The next time you open the entire track, the previous layout is overwritten with the layout settings you made for the single edited part.

Double-Click on Staff Flips between Full Score/Part

Switches between display of either the whole track or the current part when you double-click on a staff.

Note

In this case, the Score Settings dialog only opens if you select Scores > Settings.

Miscellaneous

Show Position Cursor

Shows the project cursor as a vertical line in the score. You can click and drag the line to move the cursor or hold down Ctrl/Cmd and click anywhere in the score to move the cursor directly there.

“Apply” closes Property Windows

Closes property windows and non-modal dialogs when you click Apply.

Hide Notes beyond Limits

Hides notes outside the Note Limits range set in the Score Settings dialog (Staff page - Options tab).

Default Number of Bars per Staff

This is used in 2 cases:

• In Edit Mode this sets how many bars are shown across the page.

• In Page Mode this sets how many bars are shown across the page in a new layout.

Note

When using the Auto Layout function, you will be asked for the maximum number of bars across the page, overriding this setting.
