2 pieces in the same page

2003-03-16 11:49 am

Dear friends
1 -
Is there any way to enter 2 different short melodies and have in printed in the same page, being separated by the tile of the second piece.

2 -
I would like to have a tittle and sub.title like:
SONATA
1 Allegretto
What's the best way to center a sub-title under page's title?

Regards,

Paulo Galvão

The first problem is not easy to solve. The safest is to export both pieces as placeable metafiles and insert them into a word processor.

The second can be fudged by finding out the staff position that is most nearly central on the top line of your printed output. Then insert a centre justified text expression with a large vertical offset value.

I print two pieces on the same page by printing twice with appropriate top margins.

Subtitles can be entered as text to the center of the first line using vertical placement and horizontal justification. Pad the text with spaces if needed. More control can be obtained with a layered staff filled with hidden small rests in the measure used.
