Create a Conductor Score, well organize.

• Apr 2, 2019 - 13:32

Hello,

First, sorry for my bad english.

I write conductor scores for wind band, but systems and measures are not well align. Measures will always have the same distance (there are just few exceptions), and systems well organize... It is easier ! (or can change if we use different things).

What do you think about this ?

Frienships !

Yes I do it. But I need to find how many measures I must have in each page (here 133 measures/19 pages = 7 measures). I try with 5, 6 , 7 , 8 etc... After I need to count 7 measures and put a System break on each page... it's a bit laborious.... And it is just 133 measures !!!

After my system is not align (joint file).

I think Musescore creators could put a button to calculate and equalize everything in order to have a nice clean conductor (except for measures that would qualify as an exception because too large for example). It's this kind of little details that are missing to make the best software ;)!

Even when we create each part with this kind of conductor, it is laborious too.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think it too laborious to look at the score and make sure it looks decent. If this were automated I would still look to make sure the automatic formatting looks good. It actually does automatically format the page according to how many measures will fit on a page. I actually could have lived mostly with the automatic system breaks, but I have sections that I want to start on a new page for the conductor rather than in the middle of a system. One file is a 147 measure score I wrote myself, it's part of a much larger project by the way. I made it 16 pages, with some pages having 3 short systems on them.

I look at where I want a system break and press return in that measure. If I want a page break, I press Shift+Return. I did change my mind some and go back to delete and reenter system breaks to make it look right. I've done this on 3 parts so far and there will eventually be about 20 more. There are 44 parts and I put the system breaks into each part so none of the staves are too crowded or have too few measures. I don't think it takes too long to do this.
