103 CHAPTER 6
The Layout Window
A part layout is primarily used for the single musician or a collection of musicians
in an orchestra or band. It is possible to include information in the part layouts
(e.g. playing instructions) that will not show in score layouts. By default, in
a part layout, a collection of empty bars becomes consolidated (see the diagram
below.)
The consolidation follows the music of other layouts: if there are clef changes in
one layout, for instance, this will become reflected in a consolidated layout, as
can be seen below.
There are no significant differences between score layouts and part layouts apart
from the ones mentioned above – it is quite possible to create a score layout consisting
of the music played by only one musician in an orchestra, or by none at all
(an empty score). It is also possible to create a part layout which includes all of
the musicians.
