Igor Engraver Manual

APPENDIX A
362
Name:
Here, the name of the musician can be altered.
Scaling:
Here, the scaling factor of the musician can be altered (the default setting
is 1).
Suppress empty score staves:
If checked, staves with no music will not be shown. That way, a lot of
space can be saved.
Can share staff with similar neighbour:
If checked, identical musicians, such as two musicians who play trumpets
in C, will be printed on the same staff when Igor Engraver decides this is
possible, and that way this feature saves space. If the instruments play a
polyphonic passage that would blur the score if the instruments would be
written on one staff, Igor Engraver puts one instrument on one staff and
one instrument on another staff. This feature is executed on a system-persystem
basis.
Break single barlines before this musician:
If checked, the musician will not have single barlines connected to the
musician above. If “Only where specified” is chosen in the Groupings
pane, this setting will override that setting.
Break double barlines before this musician:
If checked, the musician will not have double barlines connected to the
musician above. If “Only where specified” is chosen in the Groupings
pane, this setting will override that setting.
The Instruments Settings Window
The Instrument settings window defines the different settings that apply to
instruments. There are two panes in this window, Settings and Names. The
Instrument settings window is easiest accessed by dragging an instrument icon
from the Piece window or the Instrument library window. Remember though
that changes made to the Instrument library window will affect the program
itself, and cannot be reset without installing the program a second time. (However,
dragging instruments from the Piece window will not affect anything outside
the piece…)
