Re: Beaming with another note in the sopranostaff
Thank you Lawrie, this is a good point/lesson for me in typing in the lyrics.
Happy to help.
On other thing about the text. When I put the additional text as 2nd line of the Title. When I moved it from the staff's top until near to the title, I can not see anymore when I want to edit. What is the way to edit that. Or maybe that's not the way we add subtitle?
This is not unusual if adding text entries that must be high on the page. The anchor point is still there, you just can't see it. A <Shift+Left/Right Arrow> will still select it. It's just a bit hit and miss.
Something that can help here is 'Extra Margin Spacing "Above" '. I don't recall what the default setting is, but mine is currently set to 5. As you might guess from the small setting, I don't use this setting for the purpose you need. Instead I set subtitles with PageTxt (see next section)
Extra Margin Spacing is found in the |Tools|Options|Editor (Tab) menu item. The relevant help text reads:
Extra Margin Spacing "Above"
This sets the amount of empty top margin space used in the editor. Larger values make it easier to see elements in a staff that are located farther above the top staff in the system. Smaller values reduce the amount of empty space shown at the top of the score while working the editor.
Actually I need to make translation title in other language. How can we use PageTextMaystro.nw.
I have a standard "PageTxt" object that uses text from the "File Info" dialogue.
The file info dialogue pops up during the new file startup process. It can be accessed from the |File|Info| menu, or <Ctrl+I>, or pressing the cursive "i" toolbar button.
Attached is a sample file using my standard objects.
I use some fairly sophisticated techniques that exist in the PageTxtMaestro objects that allows me to use a set of standard PageTxt objects and modify their content in a single place - (the File Info) - while being able to place the exact same objects on every staff. To make this work properly, the relevant PageTxt objects MUST be marked on the Visibility tab as "show on printed" Top Staff Only.
This facilitates part extraction. When you load this file, do a print preview, THEN either make the vocal staff hidden, or move it below the piano staves <Shift+Ctrl+PgDn> twice and print preview again. Note the change in layout (System breaks) and the page number info at the top right. This demonstrates the utility of the Visibility controls and "Top Staff Only"
Understanding what I'm doing with these objects will take some study of the settings in the objects AND the "File Info" dialogue.
I suggest you make a copy of the sample file and play with the object settings and the text in the File Info dialogue Comments section.
