Hiding/Showing instrument transpositions in staff labels

You can hide/show instrument transpositions in staff labels in each layout in your project independently. For example, you can hide instrument transpositions in staff labels in full score layouts but show them in part layouts.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, choose Setup > Layout Options.

    The Layout Options dialog opens.

  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to hide/show instrument transpositions in staff labels in one of the following ways:

    • Click Select All.

    • Click Select All Full Score Layouts.

    • Click Select All Part Layouts.

    • Click Select All Custom Score Layouts.

    • Ctrl/Cmd-click individual layouts.

    • Shift-click adjacent layouts.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog.

  3. Select Staves and Systems from the Category menu.
  4. Activate/Deactivate the following options for Instrument pitch or transposition:

    • Show in full staff labels

    • Show in abbreviated staff labels

  5. Optional: Repeat steps 2 to 4 for other layouts.
  6. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Instrument transpositions are shown in staff labels of the corresponding length project-wide in the selected layouts when the corresponding checkbox is activated, and hidden when the corresponding checkbox is deactivated. For example, if you want to show instrument transpositions in full staff labels but hide them in abbreviated staff labels, you can activate Show in full staff labels and deactivate Show in abbreviated staff labels.
