Staff names

You can make settings for staff names in several places:

  • In the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page, you specify whether the staff names are shown at all and whether to use the names of the actual edited tracks in the score.

    In a multi-track layout, you can choose for which tracks the staff names are shown by clicking in the “N” column for each track.

  • You specify a long and short staff name in the Score Settings dialog, on the Staff page (Main tab).

    These are used if you do not use the “From Tracks” option on the Layout page of the Score Settings dialog. The long name is displayed for the first system only, and the short name for the following systems. If you want a name at the top of the page only, leave the “Short” name field empty.

Important

If the “Show Long Staff Names on new Pages” option is activated in the Score Settings dialog on the Project–Notation Style subpage (Staff Names category), the long name is displayed for the first system on every page.
