Setting a title for multiple staves of the same instrument?

• Oct 8, 2015 - 12:25

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.
