Figure: Panels in Setup mode

The following panels are available:

  1. Players

    Lists the players, instruments, and groups in your project.

  2. Layouts

    Lists the layouts that are created for players.

  3. Flows

    Shows the flows that are created for your project.

If you select or edit items on a panel, the panel and the selected item are highlighted in a different color. In each of the panels, you can activate/deactivate players, layouts, and flows independently to determine the following:

  • The players included in each flow

    Important

    If you exclude a player from a flow, any notes you have already input for that player in that flow are deleted.

  • The players that you want to show/print in an instrumental part/full score layout

  • The flows that you want to show/print in instrumental parts/full score layouts

To verify that all the players and flows that you selected are shown in a layout, select the layout in the layout selector.
