Title: Options for smaller notes?
Post by: dzechman on 2016-12-12 09:05 PM
Are their options for smaller notes? Two different applications:
1. Smaller notes inserted on same staff with normal sized notes to add an alternate/optional melodic change.
2. Can I make an entire staff and/or the notes thereon smaller in a score, i.e. the piano accompaniment of a vocal or choral score?
Thank you.

I used to use the diamond head notes for this, but now, with the introduction of user objects I use the "cueheads.ms" object wich will replace blank heads with cue size heads.

2. Can I make an entire staff and/or the notes thereon smaller in a score, i.e. the piano accompaniment of a vocal or choral score?
"cueheads.ms" will still give you small noteheads, but I know of no way to actually scale the staff lines down as in your example.

You could use grace notes as cues, but each one would have to be followed by a hidden rest of the same duration.
