What it does
These commands affect your work with the Page Layout tool.
- Allow Individual Staff Spacing. This command permits staves in a system
to be moved independently in Page View with the Staff tool. Under normal
circumstances, when you move, respace, or rearrange staves using the Staff
tool all staff systems are affected. If you have selected this option,
however, you’ll find you can now vary the positioning and spacing of staves
for a single staff system.
SongWriter locks in this staff configuration. If, for
example, you return to Scroll View after apply this command, and add another
staff, the staff won’t reappear. If you want to edit, reformat, enlarge,
or reduce your music, remove Individual Staff Spacing before you do it
(by choosing the Allow Individual Staff Spacing again), and later reapply.
For this reason, it’s best to make Individual Staff Spacing the last thing
you do before printing, after the piece has been formatted, proofread,
and ready to be given its final layout.
- Space Systems Evenly. This command displays
the Space Systems Evenly dialog box. You can tell SongWriter to place
the systems evenly spaced vertically on the page, to make maximum use
of the page. You can even tell it to skip pages that are only partially
full. See Space
Systems Evenly dialog box.
- Edit System Margins. To edit systems by number, select Edit System Margins.
See Edit
System Margins dialog box.
- Edit Page Margins. To edit page margins
by number, select Edit Page Margins. See Edit
Page Margins dialog box.
- Adjust Current Page Only. When Adjust
Current Page Only is selected, SongWriter adjusts the currently displayed
page in your piece. Otherwise, every change you make to the page size
or margins on one page will be applied to all pages in the score.
- Page Size. Choose this option to change
the page size for the current page (or all pages in your score). See Edit
Page Size dialog box.
