Problem with naming staffs

[Sherry C]

Hi,

There is a known problem that on some systems, there is a problem with using Staff/Setup to rename staves. The current work around is to use the individual Staff Setup button for each staff, and rename the staff there.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

ttfn,
Sherry
(by the way, your english is great!)

Hi Sherry,

thanks for your quick response. I have changed the names manually, but now, the next problem appears:

In the headline of notation, there is a scroll-down button that creates a singe view for just one staff and which allows me to switch between the different staffs, in my case: soprano, bass etc. But I am not able to select the manually renamed staffs, they do not appear on the scroll-dwon menu...

Hi, Snoops:

You have to create a new part for the new staves.

To the left of the Part selection scroll down box, select the first item in the part menu (Display or Define Part).

At the bottom left of the dialogue box that comes up, select Add New Part, then give your part a new name in Part Name box, select Change Part Name, then, in the right hand panel, select the staves you want included in the new part, click on Changes Staves Assigned To Part to set those staves, then click on Display and Exit.

Your new part should now appear in the drop-down box.

Good luck.

David
