Additional staff for a few measures

• Jul 2, 2025 - 19:02

Good morning.

In a score for string orchestra, I need an additional staff for the first violins for some 16 measures. I only know how to add a staff for the whole piece. Where in the documentation can I find the correct procedure for this?

Thank you,

Manuel

Das hier ist ein deutsches Forum.

Man kann nur Instrumente für das ganze Stück anlegen, nicht für Teile. Aber im Stil für die Partitur kann man einstellen, dass Zeilen ohne Inhalt (also quasi nur Pausen) nicht angezeigt werden. Das kommt optisch wahrscheinlich auf das hinaus, was Du brauchst.

Siehe "Formatierung->Stil->Partitur->Leere Notenzeilen innerhalb des Systems verstecken".

If you only want to see the measures with some notes on it, mayba you can use the function "ossia" in the menu os "staff properties". After you have added the staff for the instrument where only some notes must be played, you can 1.) select the measures before the measure (compás) where the notes started 2.) in the properties panel ofd the staff, select the button "Ossia", the press "Apply"/OK. and you will see that the measures without notes in this staff, desappear. Only the wanted "notes" can be see and play. I have included a .pdf document with the description. I do not know if this is what you want.
