Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet
Overview
Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet -valintaikkunassa voit muuttaa viivaston näyttöominaisuuksia ja sen soittimen ominaisuuksia, johon se kuuluu.
Avaa valintaikkuna seuraavasti:
Right-click either an empty area in a staff, or the instrument label in the score.
Valitse Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet…
Ikkunan vasemmassa alakulmassa olevat ylös/alas-nuolet liikkuvat partituurin viivastosta toiseen. Huomaa, että kaikki nykyiseen nuottiviivastoon tekemäsi muutokset menetetään, ellet ensin napsauta Käytä-painiketta.

Valintaikkunassa on neljä erilaista viivastotyyppiä, joita kutsutaan nimellä Tyyliryhmä:
Standardi, yleisin tyyppi, jolla on kaksi muunnelmaa:
One for pitched instruments except for fretted, plucked string instruments.
One for fretted, plucked string instruments, which has additional options for setting the number of strings and their tuning.
Tablature, also used for fretted, plucked string instruments, with the same options for configuring strings.
Lyömäsoittimet, joita käytetään sävelkorkeudettomille lyömäsoittimille.

Jokaiselle tyypille on valittavissa valmiita malleja Lisätyylin ominaisuudet -valintaikkunassa (katso alla).
Soittimen vaihtaminen voi muuttaa viivastotyypin, mutta huomioi, että tämä saattaa joskus aiheuttaa ei-toivottuja tuloksia ja virheellistä toistoa – esimerkiksi kun vaihdat Standard-tyypin viivaston (esim. huilu) lyömäsoitintyypiksi (esim. rumpusetti).
Staff properties
Valintaikkunan yläosa antaa mahdollisuuden muokata viivaston ulkoasua. Nämä asetukset ovat yhteisiä kaikille viivastotyypeille.
Huomaa, että kaikki nämä asetukset koskevat vain sitä viivastoa, jota muokataan.
Ensimmäinen sarake:
Style group: Shows the staff type (Standard, Tablature, Percussion).
Lines: The number of staff lines. Most pitched instruments use a 5-line staff, but percussion staves may have a different number, and most (though not all) tablature staves will have the same number of lines as the instrument has strings.
Line distance: The distance between lines, in spaces; 1 is 'normal'. Do not change this to make a larger or smaller stave; use Scale instead.
Extra distance above staff: Increases or decreases the minimum distance between this staff and the one above. This setting has no effect on the topmost staff of a system. It also affects all systems in the score. To change the spacing on a single system, use a spacer.
Skaalaus: Viivaston ja sen sisällön koko mukautettuna prosenttina. Jos haluat muuttaa kaikkien viivastojen skaalausta partituurissa, käytä Sivuasetukset > Skaalaus.
Toinen sarake:
Hide when empty: This setting overrides the score-wide settings for staff hiding for the current staff. See Excluding specific staves from being hidden for details.
Show clef: Whether clefs will appear on the staff.
Show time signature: Whether time signatures will appear on the staff.
Show barlines: Whether barlines will be drawn on the staff.
Hide system barline: Whether the initial barline at the left edge of the system should be hidden.
Yhdistä vastaavat tauot: Kun tämä on valittuna, samanaikaiset tauot useissa stemmoissa yhdistetään (piirretään päällekkäin). Tämä voi säästää aikaa ylimääräisten taukojen piilottamisessa tai poistamisessa:

Kolmas sarake:
Do not hide if system is empty: Specifies that this staff will be shown when all other staves in a system are empty (see Choosing which staff to show when the entire system is empty).
Small staff: Makes the staff small (cue-sized), following the size defined in Format -> Style -> Sizes -> Small staff size. For a custom size, use Scale, in the first column.
Invisible staff lines: Makes staff lines invisible.
Staff line color: Change the color of the staff lines.
Cutaway: Suppress the drawing of staff lines in empty measures (see Cutaway staves).

Advanced style properties

Jotkin tässä valintaikkunassa olevat asetukset ovat yhteisiä kaikille viivastotyypeille. Ensimmäisen kahden rivin asetukset ovat yksinkertaisesti kopioita asetuksista, jotka löytyvät Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet ‑valintaikkunasta (Viivat, Viivojen etäisyys, Näytä nuottiavain, Näytä tahtilaji, Näytä tahtiviivat)
The Template dropdown, at the bottom of the window, lets you apply a a predefined template style to the staff. For tablature staves, the templates include various numbers of staff lines and notation styles. For percussion staves, the templates include settings for different numbers of staff lines.
Mallin käyttäminen:
Make a selection from the Template dropdown list.
Press the < Reset to template button.
Paina OK.
Kaikille tyyleille paitsi lyömäsoittimille Esikatselu näyttää renderöidyn nuotinnusesimerkin, joka heijastaa valintaikkunan asetuksia, jotta voit nähdä tekemiesi muutosten vaikutuksen.
Loput asetukset vaihtelevat nykyisen viivastotyypin mukaan.
Standard and percussion staff styles only
Nämä asetukset ovat myös kopioita Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet ‑valintaikkunan asetuksista.
Show key signature, Show ledger lines: Control whether key signatures and ledger lines should be drawn.
Stemless: Will draw notes without stems, flags or beams.
Standard staff style only
Notehead scheme: Specifies which type of noteheads to use (e.g. pitch names, shape notes). See Notehead schemes.
Tablature staff style only
Upside down: When unchecked (default), the top staff line will refer to the highest string, and the bottom line is the lowest string. When checked, this is reversed (used, for example, for Italian-style lute tablature).
Loput asetukset on jaettu kahteen erilliseen välilehteen.
Fret marks


To choose the font for fret marks, there are two options:
Text style: Use a text style. This provides a dropdown from which you can select which text style to use (by default, Tablature fret number). The Edit text style button will take you to the page for the chosen style in Text styles, where you can configure it like any other.
Tab font preset: Use one of eight built-in fonts, which support all the necessary symbols for various different styles, both modern and historic. This provides three sub-options:
Font: Which of the built-in fonts to use.
Size: Font size for fret marks. The built-in fonts usually look good at a size of 9–10pt.
Vertical offset: Applies a vertical offset to the symbols. Positive values move them down, negative ones move them up. It should not normally be necessary to change this, but it may be useful when encountering a font with unconventionally aligned symbols.
The remaining options configure the notation style:
Marks are: Either Numbers (1, 2, 3...) or Letters (a, b, c...). When letters are used, 'j' is skipped.
Marks are drawn: Either On lines (i.e. vertically centered on the lines) or Above lines.
Lines are: Either Continuous (the lines will pass straight through fret marks) or Broken (lines will be masked when crossing fret marks).
Show fingering in tablature: Sets whether fingerings added from the Guitar palette should be drawn or not
Note values


These settings configure how rhythms are indicated on tablature staves.
The Shown as setting is actually the most important, as it determines which of the other options are relevant or enabled. There are three options:
None: No rhythm is indicated; all the other options in this tab will be disabled and/or ignored.
Note symbols: Rhythm will be indicated with symbols in the shape of notes above the staff.
Stems and beams: Rhythm will be notated using stems, flags and beams, just as on a standard staff.
If Note symbols is selected, these settings apply:
Font: The font used to draw the note duration symbols. Currently five fonts are provided, supporting all the necessary symbols in five different styles (modern, Italian tablature, French tablature, French baroque (headless), French baroque).
Size: Font size for the note duration symbols. The built-in fonts usually look good at a size of 15pt.
Vertical offset: Applies a vertical offset to the symbols. Positive values move them down, negative ones move them up.
Repeat: By default, note duration symbols are only shown when the duration changes. This setting specifies when they should be repeated:
Never: Symbols are never repeated.
At new system: Always draw the duration symbol at the start of a new system.
At new measure: Always draw the duration symbol at the start of a new measure.
Always: Draw a duration symbol for every note.
Show rests: Whether note duration symbols should also be drawn for rests. If shown, they are drawn at a slightly lower position than those for notes.
If Stems and beams is selected, these settings apply:
Stem style: Stems and beams can be drawn either Beside staff (always outside the staff, above or below) or Through staff (being drawn through the staff to reach the fret marks, just as stems go to noteheads on normal staves).
Stem position: Whether stems and beams are drawn Above or Below the staff; this is only available if Stem style is set to Beside staff (if Through staff is selected, stems and beams are always drawn below the fret marks).
Half notes: How half notes are indicated. On a normal staff, this is done by changing the notehead, which is not an option in tablature. The options are:
None: Do not draw a stem.
As short stem: Draw a shortened stem (only available when Stem style is set to Beside staff).
As slashed stem: Draw a stem with a double tremolo slash through it.
Part properties
Instrument identifies which instrument is assigned to the staff. To change the instrument, click the Replace instrument button and select an instrument from the Select instrument dialog that appears. This replaces the instrument for the staff, including changing playback, staff name, transposition, etc. If there are existing Staff type change items on the staff, these may now cause unpredictable results.
The default values for all the other settings in this section are taken from MuseScore Studio's instrument definitions.
Long instrument name and Short instrument name are the labels which can be shown to the left of the staves on the score. To configure which are shown where, go to Format -> Style -> Score -> Instrument names.
Usable pitch range defines the usable range for the instrument. By default, MuseScore will highlight notes which fall outside of these ranges. (The highlighting only affects the display on screen, and does not affect printing or exporting.) To disable or re-enable this functionality:
Select Edit -> Preferences (Mac: MuseScore -> Preferences) from the menu bar.
Select Note input.
Toggle Color notes outside of usable pitch range.
There are two ranges defined:
Amateur: A more limited range which can be assumed to be practical for non-professional players. Notes outside this range are colored olive green/dark yellow.
Professional: The full range of the instrument which is accessible to professional players. Notes outside this range are colored red.
Many of these range limits are subjective and open to discussion. If you wish to adjust them in your score, click the pencil icons next to each pitch name.
Transposition specifies the instrument's transposition, i.e. the difference between how the pitches are notated and how they actually sound, when the score is not shown in concert pitch. This is specified as a combination of:
Octave(s): The number of octaves.
An interval between 0 and 12 semitones, selected from the dropdown.
Up/down: The direction of the transposition.
For transpositions other than simple octave transpositions (i.e. where an interval other than Perfect unison) is chosen from the dropdown), an additional dropdown will be shown, Prefer sharps or flats for transposed key signatures, which specifies which key signature to use where there are two enharmonic equivalents available, for example B major and C flat major:
None: Match the type of accidental of the untransposed key signature, when possible.
Flats: Use the version of the key signature with flats, when one exists.
Sharps: Use the version with sharps, when it exists.
Auto: Use whichever version has fewer accidentals; if there is no difference, match the accidental of the untransposed key signature.
Additional settings for fretted, plucked string instruments
There is a final row, only shown for fretted, plucked string instruments (on both Standard and Tablature stave styles):
Number of strings shows the number of strings for the instrument.
Edit string data…: This button opens a dialog where you can change the number of strings and their tuning. See Changing tuning for details.
Don't reflect transposition in linked tablature staves: If turned off, any tablature staves linked to this stave will not reflect the transposition of the main stave.
