Assigning players to frame chains

You can change which players are included in each frame chain; for example, if you are writing a piano duet and only want to show one piano on left pages and the other piano on right pages.

Note

  • You can assign players to both page template frame chains and layout frame chains. However, you can only change the players assigned to layout frame chains in individual layouts, and you can only change the players assigned to page template frame chains in the page template editor.

  • Changing the assigned players affects all frames in the frame chain.

Prerequisite

  • Frames Frames button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • If you want to change the players assigned to music frame chains on a page template, you have opened the page template in the page template editor.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, click Players in a music frame belonging to the frame chain whose assigned players you want to change.
  2. In the Filter by Player list, activate each player you want to assign to the music frame.
  3. Click outside of the selector to close it.

Result

All frames in the same frame chain are updated to display the selected players.

Note

  • If you changed the players assigned to a page template music frame, the number of pages in the layouts to which the page template set is applied automatically updates and the casting off can change. For example, if you removed a player from the page template frame chain, fewer pages and frames might be required in the corresponding layouts.

  • The staff size is not changed automatically, meaning staves can overlap in small frames in the frame chain.
