Inserting staves

Let’s say we add a flute to our string quartet. We could use the same technique for adding staves as before, but this time we’ll save some work and let the Wizard create them.

From the View menu, choose Select Staff Set, then All Staves. If at any time you wish to return to the full-score view of your piece, select All Staves.

  1. Click the Staff Tool image\Staff_Tool.gif. The Staff menu appears. We want to insert our flute staff above the Violin I staff.
  2. Click on the handle of the Violin I staff. The staff handle is a small box on the top staff line near the clef.
  3. From the Staff menu, choose New Staves (with Setup Wizard). The Parts page of the Setup Wizard appears.
  4. From the Instrument drop-down list, choose SmartMusic SoftSynth. Then choose Woodwinds.
  5. Double-click on the Flute in the middle column. The Flute instrument appears in the selection window.
  6. Click on the Finish button. The Wizard adds a Flute staff above our selected staff, in this case the Violin I staff.
