Position Names/Abbreviated Staff Name

Choose this command to set up the position and alignment for the selected abbreviated staff name. The Position Abbreviated Staff Name dialog box appears, where you can adjust the position of the staff name relative to the staff, and set the text justification for multi-line names.

The special positioning will be used for the staff name wherever it appears in the score. To use the default positioning for the name, select the staff name handle on-screen and press BACKSPACE.

For detailed information, see the Position dialog box.
