Assign to Staves

 

How to get there

Click the Expression Tool  image\Expression_Tool.gif, and double-click a measure or existing expression in the score to open the Expression Selection dialog box. (This dialog box also appears when you’re programming an expression Metatool: While pressing shift, press a letter or number key.) Choose a category other than tempo marks, tempo alterations, and rehearsal marks. Click the popup menu next to the Assign button and choose Assign to Specific Staves.

Or, Control-click an expression in the score and choose Assign to Specified Staves.

Note. Tempo marks, tempo alterations, and rehearsal marks are displayed on specific staves using Score Lists. See Category Designer dialog box.

What it does

The Assign to Staff dialog box allows you to define assignment lists, which are used to specify the staves to which an expression will be assigned. Once defined, an assignment list appears under the Assign popup menu of the Expression Selection dialog box. Assignment lists are only used for expressions that apply to a single staff (e.g. dynamics), and any expression added in this manner is subsequently independent, as if it were added individually.

Assignment lists are a document setting, and saved with each individual document.

Note. Only expressions assigned to a Score List include a Master Expression.
