To change the Staff pane layout

1.	Click the Staff view Edit menu and choose Layout to open the Staff View Layout dialog box.

2.	Select a track from the list (if the track you want to edit is not in the list, click the Tracks menu and choose Pick Tracks, then select the desired track). The Clef option shows the track’s clef.

3.	Select a new clef from the list.

4.	If you select Treble/Bass, select a Split point.

5.	If you select one of the Percussion options, click Percussion Settings to set up the appearance of percussion notes.

6.	Repeat steps 2-5 for other tracks.

7.	Click Close when you are done.

Cakewalk displays tracks using the new staff settings.

Tip: If a piano part’s left-hand and right-hand parts overlap, a split point will not correctly separate the two parts into treble and bass staves. You may prefer to put the two parts into two separate tracks.
