Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts
You can use score sets to determine which instrument tracks should be included in the
score display. Each project can contain as many score sets as required. Score sets allow
you to:
• Produce both the full score and individual parts (such as particular groups of
instruments).
• Arrange the (vertical) order of instrument tracks in the score, independent of the order
of tracks in the Arrange area.
• Assign a name (and, optionally, an abbreviated name) to each instrument track, which
will be displayed and printed as instrument names in the score.
• Determine which staffs will be connected by brackets or bar lines.
• Exclude the display of tracks that are only relevant for playback, but not for the score
(tracks that only contain MIDI controller data, for example).
• Simultaneously reduce or enlarge all staffs in each staff set, by using the Scale parameter.
This allows you to use the same staff styles for printout of full scores and individual
parts.
• Select from two different parameter sets (Score or Part) for page margins, header space
height, vertical distance between staff systems, and the maximum number of bars per
line.
The Relationship Between Score Sets and Display Modes
A score set is only shown as defined if an appropriate display mode is chosen. Content
Link and Content Catch only allow the display of one MIDI region at a time, making them
unsuitable for work with score sets. It’s usually best to deselect Link, once the desired
score set is fully displayed. If only one MIDI region is displayed, double-click below the
staff, which displays the full score; then deselect Link.
Tip: It is possible to work with several open Score Editor windows, each showing different
display levels or different score sets.
Choosing a Score Set
You choose a score set in the Inspector’s Score Set pop-up menu.
Click the menu to show all available score sets. New projects only show the All Instruments
score set, which displays all instruments, depending on the display level.
