Part names in header/footer
Is there a way to show partnames on header or footer - without typing them all again?
To have the partname in header or footer is a significant thing for identification
of all pages following page 1 (which indicates it already).
As best solution I think of a meta-tag $:partName:
created in the list of meta-tags during parts were defined - carrying the recent partname.

They are shown already, in 2.0 beta 1, in the lower left corner of the title frame

Sorry - but can not find a suitable tag in existing parts or a special symbol therefore.
The list of 'Available tags with their current values' shows some informations for pages and dates and the copyright but no partname.
Or did I oerlook anything?

There is no tag (as far as I know) but the part name does shown on the parts,
actually it collides with the lyricst, i.e. shows an the same spot in the title frame of the part

Hence there is - at the moment - no support - for designation of the following pages
and I have to describe each part - manually - if needed.
Could this be an new issue for 2.0 ?

As said several times: the partname is there already, by default, on every part in the lower left corner of the title Frame, in 2.0 and the later nighlies. Even in 1.x!
Check with a right-click into a measure, staff properties. There under Part Properties you can see/set the partname, the Instrument and thje long and short Instrument names.
I'm not really shure which of those it takes and in what order to populate the corresponding entry in the part's title frame

You are completely right - it is de facto no question for the first page.
But how can we let appear an instrument or partname on all the f o l l o w i n g pages?
If you have a batch of printouts it's hard to find the relations.

Ah, now I got you, finally... sorry for having been exceptionally thick.
Also I just found out that if you add a meta tag to a part, MuseScore crashes ...

Jojo , there is no crash with musescore - just a missing function in header/footer.
It dont help me to define a new metatag (into the main sore) beceause this new tag is fix and could not have the entry I need. The recent partname should be already loaded in the software - for each part if I print out parts.
What do you think about my request?
In reply to No crash - just missing by Rudi cj7tb
Makes sense, a partName tag to be added to a part automagically, filled with what otherwise is in "Instrument Name (Part)"

manually creating such a tag for the parts is now possible
In reply to manually creating such a tag by Jojo-Schmitz
. . . just tried latest Nightly
. . . did I overlook anything ??? - please advice.
To define a new "meta tag" makes only sence for me
if there is the recent partname - already existing - and imparted as an information.
To type all partnames manually into the header/footer is just a troublesome makeshift.
In reply to . . . just tried latest by Rudi cj7tb
create the parts, select them one by one, add meta tags, use that in header/footer.
Yes, having to do this manually is not really what computers are about ;-)
In reply to create the parts, select them by Jojo-Schmitz
do you have to create a different metatag for each part ? Is it possible ?
Could it be possible to search (automatically) the one in first page to reproduce in other pages ?
In reply to do you have to create a by Zynette
yes you can define different meta tags to different parts.
And, provided you used the same tag name, reference then in header/footer by that name in all parts
In reply to yes you can define different by Jojo-Schmitz
and how do we create a metatag....?
and could this asking being a Feature rRequest (to do it automatically not difining a tag for each part ?)?

Is there anything new on this? There is still not a metatag for PartName, correct? Am I missing it?

While in the part open Style->General... and click Header, Footer, Numbers. Use the $:partName: meta tag to display the part name. As a bonus, you can apply this to all parts from any part.

I am puzzled that if I add/edit something using format/style/header footer , I can "apply (that) to all parts" if I am editing a part, but not when I am editing the whole score
(the button is greyed out) . I can't

Parts have their own individual (set of) tag(s) and inherite all from the main score.

Sure, there is partName in every part.
Use of a meta-tag is not needed.
Format/Style/Header Footer
"built in" $i and $I put part name on header/footer of a part (but not, of course, on score)
Part names can be shown on each staff/stave in a score via :
right click a staff then
Stave/Part Property/Part properties boxes Long instrument Name/Short instrument name. The former appear at the beginning of the piece, the latter each subsequent line.

Indeed, even easier than $:partName:

I use it all the time. Something that puzzles me: when hovering in that page, a menu of these built in $ thingies displays then disappears before you have tine to read, and there is no simple way to make it reappear. Grrrr. Do you know a workaround?
