Changing the name of a staff
|
 |
Above the treble clef is
the staff name. By default, it has been set to "Piano".
We are going to change it to "Main".
Find the little black triangle above the
icons in the staff's left margin
.
Click on it, and the staff configuration menu
opens. With this menu, you can access all the staff configuration
options.
 |
Note:
Some of these actions, like instrument selection,
can be accessed faster by clicking on the icons below the black
triangle. |
|
In the staff menu, select "Rename" and type
in the new staff name: "Main".
Confirm your actions:
the new name is displayed above the treble clef.
Resizing the
staff
|
 |
We are now going to resize the screen area
reserved
for the top staff. Click on the horizontal red line below the
staff
configuration icons in the staff margin and drag the cursor down.
The space allotted to the first staff is enlarged, and the second staff
(bass clef) is shifted down. When you think that
the allocated space is wide enough, release the mouse button
(try,
however, to have both staves visible on screen).
You will have noticed that the treble staff remained
at the top of its area. To center it, drag the lower red
triangle down.
The staff is then repositioned within its enlarged space.
