Copying Voices or Staffs into Other Staff Styles
You can copy one (or several) voices and staffs, inclusive of their parameters, into other
staff styles.
To copy a voice or staff into another staff style:
1 Select the voices or staffs you want to copy, by dragging the mouse vertically in the
margin column to the left of the staff numbers.
The selection will be indicated by a dark gray vertical beam.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (or use the Copy key command, default: Command-C).
3 Switch to the target staff style that you want to paste these voices into (this also works
between different projects).
4 Set the insert mark, then choose Edit > Paste (or use the Paste key command,
default: Command-V).
Note: If a voice is selected in the destination staff style (indicated by a black beam in
the left column), it will be replaced by the pasted voices.
Copying Staff Styles Between Projects
At some point, you’ll probably want to use staff styles that exist in another project.
To import all staff styles from another project:
1 Choose Options > Import Settings in the Score Editor (or use the Import Settings key
command).
2 In the Import Settings window, select the project that contains the desired staff styles,
activate the Staff Styles checkbox (and disable all other settings that you don’t want to
import), and click Import.
This imports all staff styles from another project into the current one.
To copy particular staff styles from other projects:
1 In the project that contains the staff styles you want to copy: Open the Staff Style
window (single view will be shown).
2 Double-click in the space below the staff style parameters to show a listing of all staff
styles.
3 Select the desired staff styles.
4 Choose Edit > Copy (or use the Copy key command, default assignment: Command-C).
5 Open the Staff Style window in the target project.
