Scores - Editing

If this option is activated, as soon as you add a symbol, the program switches back to the Object Selection tool. If this option is deactivated, the Draw tool remains active after inserting a symbol.

If this option is activated, you need to double-click with the Object Selection tool in a Palette to activate the Draw tool. If this option is deactivated, a single click is enough to bring out the Pencil.

If this option is activated, crescendo symbols are never “slanted”.

If this option is activated, and you move notes vertically (to transpose them), you will be restricted to pitches within the current key.

If this option is activated, and you click on either note in a tied note pair, both notes will be selected.

If this option is activated, pressing AltGr + Ctrl on Windows or Alt-Cmd on Mac OS and adjusting the spacing of staves applies the spacing to all staves on the current page and on all the following pages. If this option is deactivated, the spacing is only applied to the current page.

This option affects the Auto Layout functions “Hide Empty Staves” and “Optimize All”. When “Don’t hide first staff” is activated, staves in the very first grand staff will not be hidden, even if they are empty.

Normally, braces are only shown in Page Mode. With this option activated they will also be visible in Edit Mode.

Normally, when you open a Property window or any non-modal score dialog (e. g. Set Note Info or Score Settings), you can adjust the settings and click Apply to apply the changes without closing the window. If this option is activated, clicking Apply closes the window.

If this option is activated the Project cursor position is shown 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.

If this option is activated the pitch of inserted notes is indicated.

If this option is activated and you insert or drag a note in the score, a tooltip will appear below the pointer, showing the current pitch and position. If you feel screen redraws are too slow, you may want to turn this feature off.

If this option is activated, the endpoints of slurs will snap to notes when you draw or move them.

If there are more than one part on a track, and you open score edit 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.

If this option is activated, double-clicking on a staff will switch between display of either the whole track or the current part.

The behavior of the Layout tool was different in older versions of Cubase. Activate this option if you have an old project in which the Layout tool was used to ensure that the project is displayed as expected.

If this option is activated, any notes outside the Note Limits range set in the Score Settings dialog (Staff page - Options tab) will be hidden.

If this option is activated, you can insert notes without pressing Return.

If this option is activated, the length of the previous note is changed on inserting notes.

If this option is activated, you must hold down Alt to insert notes.

If this option is activated, you can insert notes by pressing the keys that correspond to the note on the virtual keyboard (qwerty).

This is used in 2 cases:

• In Edit Mode to set how many bars are shown across the page.

• In Page Mode to decide how many bars there are shown across the page in a new layout.
