Changing the staff size from specific points

You can change the staff size of all staves from specific points in layouts. For example, you can have smaller staves only on pages with more staves, and larger staves on other pages with fewer staves.

Note

If the size of system object font styles is set to Staff-relative, the staff size of the top staff in each instrument family group affects the size of system objects if they are shown above that bracketed group. Font styles that are set to Absolute are unaffected by staff size.

1. In Engrave mode, select the signpost of the system/frame break from which you want to change the staff size.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Space size in the Format group.
3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

Increasing Space size increases the staff size of all staves in the layout. Decreasing the value decreases the staff size. This changes the staff size until the next change in staff size or the end of the flow, whichever comes first.

By default, the next flow in your project uses your project-wide staff size for the current layout.
