Hiding/Showing divisi change labels above staves

You can hide/show section names above staves in divisi sections project-wide in each layout independently, for example, to clarify which staves correspond to sections in the divisi when divisi changes occur partway through systems, or to show a change in weighting between staves.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to hide/show divisi change labels above staves.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. Click Staves and Systems in the page list.
  4. In the Staff Labels section, activate/deactivate Show divisi change labels above staves.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Section names are shown above staves in the division when Show divisi change labels above staves is activated, and hidden when it is deactivated.

Note

This does not affect whether divisi section names are shown in staff labels before the initial barline on each system.
