Cue contents
The content of individual cues can appear differently in each layout, independently of other layouts and without changing the source material, if you make changes in a layout that does not contain the source instrument.
Music in cues is dynamically linked to the music in the source instrument. Any changes you make to the source music are automatically shown in the cue, but you cannot change the pitch or duration of notes within the cue. This ensures that cues are an accurate reflection of the notes being played by the cued instrument.
You can make graphical changes to the music in cues without affecting the corresponding music in the source instrument. For example, you can adjust the placement of slurs and the angles of glissando lines, lengthen/shorten stems in cues, and respell accidentals. You can also change the note spacing scale factor of cues for whole layouts and from specific points in individual layouts.
Graphical changes to cues are layout-specific. For example, if you make changes to a cue within a full score layout that also contains the source instrument, your changes to the cue affect the corresponding material in the source instrument and other instruments with the same cue in the layout. However, if you make changes to a cue in a part layout that only contains the destination instrument, the corresponding material in the part layout of the source instrument is not affected.
It is also possible to change the enharmonic spelling of notes in cues in Engrave mode in the same way as changing the enharmonic spelling of normal notes. If you respell notes in cues in the part layout of the destination instrument, the spelling of notes in the source instrument is not affected. For example, you can change the enharmonic spelling of notes in cues in transposing instrument layouts to avoid double accidentals.
If you respell notes in cues in a layout that also contains the source instrument, the enharmonic spelling is also changed in the source instrument.
