In your PrintMusic folder, you’ll find a folder called Templates. In this folder you’ll find three dozen blank PrintMusic documents, each with staves in a particular instrumental configuration. These templates can save you time—just open a copy of a score setup you need, and start entering the music.
To create an untitled copy of one of these templates (thus preserving the blank template itself for later use), choose Document from Template from the New submenu of the File menu. Double-click the name of the desired template; PrintMusic will open an untitled copy.
Each of these templates, like the Maestro Font Default.FTM, have been defined to have sequential measure numbers, page numbers, and a sample title. Staves for the transposing instruments (e.g., clarinets, horns) have been set up to transpose automatically (see Transposing instruments).
When you open a template, PrintMusic prompts you with the last two pages of the Setup Wizard which allows you to customize the score information, time signature, key signature, and other score elements.
