You can also create an entire staff at a reduced size.
- Enter the music at normal size. If you’re not in Page View, choose View > Page View.
- Choose the Resize tool
, and click on the desired staff (not on a note or other element). The Resize Staff dialog box appears.
- Enter the desired reduction value. For a cue staff, 60% to 75% of full size would be a typical reduction.
- Specify the range of systems in which you want this staff reduced. You can also reduce an entire system. Follow these same instructions, but instead of clicking on a staff, click between two staves. You’ll be offered two extra options: Hold Margins (to ensure that the horizontal dimension of the system doesn’t get reduced) and Resize Vertical Space (to reduce the space below the system as well). For a further discussion of these options, see Resize Staff System dialog box.
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
