Setting a title for multiple staves of the same instrument?
Hi all and thank you for an active forum!
A question: what's the best way to set one grouping title for two staves of the same instrument? Here's an example of the goal with with Horn staves:
The staff titles should work for the short titles on following pages of staff titles, for example (from the second page of a different score):
Thank you very much for your help!

Ciao tnikkine, I try, with a picture ...
Right-click on the instrument name> Stave Properties ...;
Modify Long I.N. and Short I.N. (I can wrapping the numbers);
From the Inspector change the Vertical offset.
Check if it can work for you. I do not know if it is formally correct or if it is maintained after any subsequent changes.
You may also save it as a template for later use?

Hi Shoichi!
Thank you for your response! This is a clever workaround, nice idea!
This *almost* solves the problem :). The minor issue is that the exact vertical layout of the title is a bit off. It's so close that one might not even notice though.
The other bigger issue is that the vertical spacing (from the inspector) seems to only apply to the first page. For the following pages, the vertical spacing of the first page doesn't seem to apply any more.
I would imagine there would be a designed way to combine staves in this way though, as it seems quite common in many scores.

Select all similar elements (after entering all notes).
Or prepare the score and then save it as a template.

After Close and reopen the score is messed :(
But export as PDF seems ok
_____edit
I thought another possibility ...
Check instrument name property, maybe it works (HTH)
My preferred method is to simply make it one instrument with two staves, instead of two separate instruments. See attached.

Hi Zack!
I think this is probably be the most eloquent solution that requires the least tweaking.
Thank you very much for the example score, that helped a lot :) !
