Extract Parts
How to get there
Open the document from which you’ll be
extracting parts. Choose Extract Parts from the File menu.
What it does
Extract Parts places each extracted part
in its own separate PrintMusic document that you can view and edit before
printing.
In this dialog box, you can tell PrintMusic
which staves or groups are to be extracted (you would specify a group
so that both staves of a keyboard part will be extracted together, for
example).
- Staves
· Groups. The Staves list contains the name of each staff in the
score, and the Group list contains the number of each group. Use the scroll
bar to display all staves in the score. Click to select a single staff
in the Staves list. Shift-click to select all staves between the currently
selected staves and the staff you shift-click. Command-click to select an additional
single staff from anywhere in the list, or command-click a selected staff to remove
a single staff from the selection. After selecting staves to extract,
select any groups you want to extract at the same time. PrintMusic will
extract each selected staff and group, create a separate document for
the extracted part, and open each part layered on top of each other. To
switch between open documents, click on the Window menu and select the
desired file. For more information, see Window
menu.
- Apply
MusicNote Spacing. Choose Apply MusicNote Spacing to position each
note based on its duration. For details, see Note spacing.
- Click
the Save In button to select the folder in which you want the parts
saved.
- OK
· Cancel. Click OK (or press return) to confirm your parts extraction
settings, or click Cancel to return to the score without changing any
settings.
