Step 5:

Editing the Whole Score

Once you’ve recorded or inserted all (or most) of the notes and symbols into your
score, and edited individual elements, the next step is to polish the score’s layout.

This would typically include use of tools to reposition staffs, and changing the Score
project settings—to adjust the number of bars per line, set page margins, and more. All

Customizing the

Score Editor’s Appearance
