Opening multiple views/layouts at the same time

You can use tabs to display multiple layouts or different views of the same layout within the same project window. For example, you can show your full score layout in page view in one tab and in galley view in another tab.

Each tab can contain a separate layout or an additional view of a layout that is already open in another tab or window. Whenever you open a new tab, you are prompted to select a layout that you want to display in the tab.

You can find the tabs at the top of the music area, below the toolbar. If you do not see the tabs, click Show Tabs in the toolbar.

Procedure

  1. Open a new tab in any of the following ways:
    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-T.

    • To the right of the tabs, click New Tab.

    • Choose Window > New Tab.

    A new tab opens that shows several icons at the top and a list of layouts at the bottom.



  2. Select a layout to open in the new tab in any of the following ways:
    • Click one of the icons.

    • Select a layout from the list at the bottom.

    • Click Select Layout on the toolbar and choose one of the layouts from the pop-up menu.

Result

The layout that you choose opens in the active tab.

Tip

You can also switch between different layouts within the same tab.
