adjust default style 3.6 help

• Jul 12, 2022 - 15:19

I upgraded to 3.6 and when I apply the new Edwin style settings to an existing score there are a couple of areas that I am not happy with concerning the point size. They are the Lyricist, Composer and Subtitle. By default these are at 10pt, 10pt, and 16pt respectiviley. I know that I can go to the inspector and quickly change these. However, I really don't want to do this every time I open an existing score. My question is can I change the default Edwin style so that when I open an existing score it's exactly how I would like it?

Create a stylesheet based in the 3.6 defaults and change those settings, then load that stylesheet (Format > Load style). Optionally shorten that changed stylesheet, ending up with something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<museScore version="3.02">
  <Style>
    <subTitleFontSize>14</subTitleFontSize>
    <composerFontSize>12</composerFontSize>
    <lyricistFontSize>12</lyricistFontSize>
    </Style>
  </museScore>

This is great. Can this be extended to offsets as well? For example to reposition the subtitle?

Certainly. Just make whatever style changes you want (using Format / Style, or using the Inspector and the "Set as style" button with the "S" icon), then Format / Save Style to save the result as a style file.
