Title: Organ Scores
Post by: tony smedley on 2011-07-29 06:44 PM
        I have referred in another post to problems with writing Organ music with Noteworthy. Another thing which has caused me to think is the creation of a typical start to a  3 staff organ score – right hand, left hand, pedals.  Usually this consists of a bracket  between the top two staffs with the word Manual centred on the left hand side of the bracket. The Pedal staff has the title Pedal on the left hand side.
        I have not been able to duplicate this format with the ‘Manual’ title in the middle of the two staffsand content myself with coupling the Manual staffs as Upper and Lower Grand Staffs and labelling them Manual I and Manual II with the lower staff labelled Pedals,. Fortunately, if a layered staff is involved this requires no staff label.

Tony:

Top staff: style "Upper Grand Staff," label "Manual."
Second staff: style "Lower Grand Staff," no label ("label" field left blank).
Third staff: style "Standard," label "pedal."


Layers as necessary to fit into that scheme.

Be careful layering a staff "above" another staff with a label ("manual", "pedal") for the label priority of the layered staves is for the label of "topmost" staff.

William,

Thankyou for that! It was too simple for me to try it!
