Name
Double-clicking in the name box to the left of the Staff and Voice columns allows you to
enter a new staff style name.
About Key Range
Notes that fall outside the key range (defined to the left of the Staff Style window) are
not displayed in the Score Editor. This allows you to hide notes that are used for
key-switching duties (for example, VSL sample libraries loaded into the EXS24 mkII).
Brackets and Bar Line Connections
You can only edit this parameter in styles with multiple staffs: it lets you determine which
staffs are bracketed (two bracket types are available) or connected by bar lines (only at
the beginning of each staff line, or at every bar line). Drag in the corresponding column
until you see the appropriate display for any of these connections.
If a staff style consists of more than two staffs, the brackets and bar lines can be set to
connect only certain parts of the overall staff style—they can be interrupted in between
staffs. If you want to delete any connections, grab the symbol at its end (bottom), and
drag it up, until it disappears.
Space
These values determine the distance to the next (higher and lower) staff, or the page
margins, for the top and bottom staffs in a full score.
The first value increases or decreases the space above staffs, and the second value, the
space below staffs.
This parameter is helpful when you need to create additional space above or below a
staff, allowing symbols to be inserted between staffs.
You can also change the vertical distance above the staff directly in the score, by dragging
the staff up or down (at the clef).
The distance below the staff can also be edited in the score, but only for the bottom staff
in the score display, or if one staff is displayed. You drag the bottom line of the score
display with the mouse.
These editing procedures change the settings of the corresponding staff style. All regions
that use the same staff style are affected.
