m

To set the short name: Click the Short Name column to open a field where you can enter the
short name. The short name for each instrument is used if Short Names is chosen in the Project
Settings > Score, Numbers & Names > 1st Staff and Other Staves pop-up menus.

m

To set which staffs are connected by brackets and bar lines: Drag vertically in the appropriate
column, until you see the appropriate display. You can define which staffs in the score set are
connected by brackets or bar lines (either at the beginning of each staff, or throughout), in the
last four columns.

Brackets and bar lines can also be interrupted between staffs, allowing you to form groups of
connected instruments in a score. If you want to delete a line or bracket, grab the corresponding
symbol at its end point (bottom), and drag it upward, until it disappears. You can use the same
method to shorten lines.
Bar line connections can also be edited directly in the score. Click the upper end of a bar line to
connect it to the next (higher) staff. Repeating the procedure disconnects the bar lines.
