Staff names

You can actually specify two names for every staff in a score: a full name (such as Trumpet 1 in B flat), which appears in the first system of the score, and a second name (often abbreviated, such as Tpt. 1), which appears on all subsequent systems.

To create or edit a staff name

PrintMusic always displays handles on each staff name you enter.

1. Choose Window > Score Manager. The Score Manager appears.
2. Select the instrument staff you want to change.
3. In the Full Name or Abbr. Name text box, type a staff name or make changes to the existing staff name. The changes are immediately updated in your score.

To reposition staff names

You have control over the position of each individual staff name.

1. Choose the Staff tool .
2. Drag the handle of a full or abbreviated staff name to reposition the staff name on-screen.

Tip: To revert the position of the full or abbreviated staff name to its default position, select the staff name handle and press CLEAR.
