698 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
 Project settings: You can set general display options that affect the whole project in
the Score project settings window (see “ Project Settings for Score Display ” on
page 811). These include spacing between notes, page margins, line thickness, display
of instrument names, bar and page numbers, and a lot more.
Important: Score display parameters have absolutely no effect on MIDI playback, just
on the way MIDI data is shown in the Score Editor. This separate notation display
system allows you to adjust the look of the notation, without changing the original
MIDI region data (and therefore, the performance).
You can further control the display by selecting or creating staff styles, text styles, and
score sets, that best fit your music.
 Staff styles exist for most common single and multi-staff types, and can be chosen
from the Display Parameter box’s Style menu. These include: Piano, Guitar, Horn in
Eb, Organ, and even Drum styles. Simply choose the one that best represents the
instrument part as notation. If none of the existing styles are appropriate, you can
easily create your own (see “
Working With Staff Styles ” on page 775).
 Score sets allow you to determine which instruments are displayed (and printed) in a
score. You can include as many (or few) of the existing track instruments into a score
set as you wish (see “
Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts ” on page 796). This
makes it easy to create separate sheet music for the violinists, or french horn players,
for example.
 Text styles are used to control several different text elements of your score, such as:
the title, lyrics, copyright information, instrument names, and so on. Each of these
text elements can be assigned a font style, size, and more within the overall text style
(see “
Working With Text ” on page 742).
