Chapter 16 Score Editor 561

Global Format

Here you can find the settings for page margins, spacing between notes, slanting of

beams and format settings.

This window can be opened by:

• Layout > Global Format…

• Key command Settings: Global Format

• Double-click on the page margins in Page Edit view

Note: Distance values can be displayed in inches or centimeters. To change between

these, just click on one of the depictions of the units being used.

Those settings, that affect the general page layout, e.g. the margins, can be set

independently for a part or the full score. This is indicated by the two input boxes. This

allows you to print out single voices with a different page layout than the full score.

The settings in detail:

Top/Bottom/Left/Right Margin

These values show the margin distances to the outer border of the printable area on

the page. So “Top Margin 0.0 inches” will mean that printing will start as close to the

top of the paper as the selected printer driver will allow. This means that, with different

printers, the size of the printable area can be different, although the difference should

be minimal.

The margins are visible only in Page Edit view, where they are displayed as green lines

on the screen. These lines are not printed. It is also possible to change them directly, by

dragging them with the mouse in the score.

Unlike the global page margins, the left and right borders of stave systems can also be

edited individually. To change the left/right border of a staff system, simply use the

Layout tool to click and drag the border to the desired position. The local margin (see

“Local Margins” on page 559) can be reset by double-clicking the same position with

the Layout tool.

Add Bracket Space

Creates additional space between the left margin line, and the beginning of the staves

for braces and brackets. If this option is deactivated, staves will be aligned directly

along the left margin line.

Alternating Margins

If activated, the left and right page margin settings will be swapped on every second

page. This can be useful if a score is going to be bound as a book: Usually the inner

margin has to be a bit bigger than the outer one. It is possible that the opposite might

be preferable in cases where room is needed for remarks to be added later to the score.
