How can I change the number of staff in a system?

• Feb 20, 2010 - 11:29

Hi!

I'm having a weird trouble with systems. In the beginning I have only one system and I don't know how to add more systems on a sheet. Is it possbile to have more than one system in the beginning when no notes are added? That would be great.

I'm trying to get 4 systems but can't control those. I have 16 staffs which is right but now they're only in three systems. I would like to have it that way that there is 4 staffs for both voices / system. Now all the staffs seems to go irregularly like they want to and I can't do a thing about it.

I just can't figure out how I can manage those things. I've tried my best to solve this but have failed.

Hope that someone knows what I'm talking about :)

I already understood that one but is it possbile to control the numbers of measures for system? If I just add measures it puts even 16 measures per one system.
I would like to have evenly 4 measures per system and 4 systems. So if I have 16 measures I would like to have them evenly 4 measures per system (4 + 4 + 4 + 4). Now I have those in three systems (6 + 7 + 3).

Thanks for your help.

Staff breaks are automatic, depending on measure content. You can place staff breaks (see break-or-spacer in handbook) to get a different layout. The latest prereleases have a style option to get a fixed number of measures/system.
