Brackets and Bar Lines

You can define which staves in the Instrument Set will be connected by brackets (two

bracket types available), and/or connected by bar lines (either at the beginning of each

staff, or throughout) using the last four columns. For any of these connections, just

drag the mouse vertically in the column until you see the appropriate display.

These brackets and bar lines can also be interrupted between staves, which allows you

to form groups of connected instruments in a score. If you want to delete one of these

lines or brackets, grab the corresponding symbol at its end point, and drag it up until it

disappears. You can use the same method to shorten the lines.

The bar line connections can also be edited directly in the score. Just click on the upper

end of a bar line to connect it to the next higher staff. The same procedure applied

once more disconnects the bar lines again.

Name of Instrument Set

The Name of an Instrument Set can be edited by double-clicking on the name in the

left column of the Instrument Set window, which opens a text entry field. If you click-

hold on the name box, you can switch to another Instrument Set by selecting it from

the resulting pull-down menu.

Scaling, Format

These two parameters below the Instrument Set’s name make it possible to create both

the full score and the parts (see “Full Score and Part Layout” on page 557) for all

instruments from within the same song file, without having to change any settings.

Importing Instrument Sets from Other Songs

Select Options > Import Settings. In the resulting dialog box, activate Instrument Sets

only, and click on Import. This imports all Instrument Sets from another song into the

current song.

If another song file is already open during this procedure, that song’s Instrument Sets

will be imported. If no other song is open, a file selector box will appear, where you can

select the song whose Instrument Sets you want to import into your current song.

Additional Information on Instrument Sets

Relation to Display Levels

An Instrument Set will only be displayed as defined, if an appropriate Display Level (see

“Display Levels” on page 552) is chosen. Content Linked and Content Catch only allow

the display of one MIDI Region at a time, so they are not suitable for working with

Instrument Sets. It’s usually best to deactivate Link once the desired Instrument Set is

fully displayed. If only one MIDI Region is displayed, double-click below the staff, which

will bring up the full score. After that, deactivate Link.

Please note: it is possible to work with several open Score windows showing different

Display Levels and/or different Instrument Sets.
