Layout settings
Score Layout settings are only available when Additional Score Options is selected in
Advanced preferences.
You can use these settings to define a number of display settings for the whole project, such as
staff line thickness, stem length, and distance between notes and ties, or notes and dots.
Line Thickness settings
•
Line Thickness parameters: This group of parameters determines the line thickness of the
following objects: staff lines, stems, ledger lines, bar lines, repeat and end lines, tuplet brackets,
text boxes (for boxed text styles), crescendi/decrescendi (also affects line objects and arrows),
ties, and slurs.
Note: If you have a high-resolution printer, try to use smaller line thickness settings (2, or
maybe even 1). Smaller staff lines, in particular, look much better. The other parameter settings
are more a matter of personal preference. These changes are only visible at high zoom levels
on the screen. To really judge the results, try some printouts with different settings. The Slur
and Tie Thickness parameters are affected by the Scale parameter in score sets, and the Size
parameter in staff styles.
