To create cue notes on a full-size staff

  1. Enter the music at normal size.  
  2. Select the layer your cue notes are in from View > Select Layer.  
  3. Choose Document > Show Active Layer Only.
  4. Click the Selection tool image\Selection_Tool.gif and select a region. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts. You can select as little as one note, or as much as an entire piece.
  5. Choose Utilities > Change > Note Size. The Resize Notes dialog box appears.
  6. Indicate how small you want the cue notes to be by typing a number into the number box. This number is expressed as a percentage of normal-size notes, so “50%” would give you notes that are half size; numbers between 50 and 75 generally produce good results.
  7. Click OK (or press ENTER). To restore the notes, repeat the process but set the notes’ size to 100%.
