Score settings

Before you start entering notes, you need to make some initial staff settings.

There are three ways to open the Score Settings dialog:

Make the staff active, open the Scores menu and select “Settings…”.
Double-click on the rectangle to the left of the staff.

If this does not work, the “Double-click on staff flips between full score/part” option may be activated in the Preferences dialog (Scores–Editing page).
Make the staff active and click the “i” button on the extended toolbar.

For this to work, make sure no notes or symbols are selected – otherwise, clicking the “i” button may open a dialog with settings for the selected object instead.

The Score Settings dialog shows the current settings for the active staff.
