Assign:
The parameters for the assignment of notes to the different Voices. For details, see
below.

Every Staff can contain several independent Voices (up to 16), however, one Voice can
not be displayed across different staves. Therefore, a Score Style has to contain at least
as many Voices as Staves.

List View

Besides the single Score Style view shown above, there is also a list view option in the
Score Style window. The list view is mainly intended for copying Score Styles between
songs (see below), or for deleting styles.

To change to the list view, double-click in the empty space below the parameters.
Another double-click on one of the Score Styles in the list brings you back to the single
display of that particular Style. Another way to change between single and list view is
to click on the small button to the left of the menu line.

Handling Score Styles

Copying Score Styles between Songs

At some point, you will probably want to use Score Styles that already exist in another
song. There are two methods for copying Score Styles between songs:

Importing All Score Styles from another Song
In the Score window, select Options > Import Settings. In the resulting dialog box,
activate Score Styles only, and click on Import. This imports all Score Styles from another
song into the current one.

If another song file is already open during this procedure, that song’s Score Styles will
be imported. If no other song is open, a file selector box will appear, where you can
select the song whose Score Styles you want to import into your current song.

Copying only Particular Score Styles from other Songs
One or several Score Styles can be selected in the Score Style window’s list view, and
copied between songs, using the usual copy/paste commands (Edit menu or key
commands). To be able to do this, you need to open Score Style windows in both
songs.

Automatic Score Style Copying
If you copy a MIDI Region from one song to another, and the Score Style used by the
original MIDI Region does not yet exist in the other song file, it is automatically copied
into that song, along with the MIDI Region.
