Staff View Layout dialog

The Staff View Layout dialog box appears when you click the Staff view Edit menu and choose Layout, or choose Layout from either the Staff pane or Fretboard right-click menus.

Use these fields in the Staff View Layout dialog box to control staff layout options:

Track

This field lists the tracks that the Staff view currently displays. Highlight the name of the track that you want to set display options for.

Display

The Display fields in the Staff Layout View dialog box enable you to choose a variety of display options for the Staff view:

Whether you want rests to be beamed together with the notes that occur on the same beat (Beam Rests check box).

Whether the staff view will display sustain pedal events (Show Pedal Events check box).

Whether you want chord grids displayed above chord symbols (Show Chord Grids check box).

What fonts you want for any text, track names, or numbers in the Staff view (Set Font pop-up menu).

Staff properties (clef, split point)

In the Staff properties section of the Staff View Layout dialog box, you can select the type of clef you want to display in the Staff view. If you select Treble/Bass the Split option becomes active, allowing you to set the boundary note between the treble and bass clefs

Tablature settings

The Staff View Layout dialog box creates tablature settings for a whole track at a time. To modify tablature for selected parts of a track, select part of a track and use the Regenerate TAB command.

In the Staff View Layout dialog box you can choose a preset style of tablature by choosing from the Preset pop-up menu, or you can define your own style by clicking the Define button in the Staff View Layout dialog box to open the Tablature Settings dialog box.
