Merge Staves Dialog

Command Location: Staves Menu / Merge Staves

The Merge Staves dialog allows you to merge two or more staves into a single staff.

The dialog consists of a Staff Display Window, which displays the staves available for merging, and a drop down box from which you can select the staff into which the other staff/staves are to be merged.

For example, if you wanted to merge Staff 1 into Staff 2, you would select Staff 1 from the Staff Display Window and Staff 2 from the drop down box at the bottom of the dialog and press ‘Merge’. If you wanted to merge more than one staff into Staff 2, say Staff 1 and Staff 3, you would simply hold down the ‘Ctrl’ key as you select Staves 1 and 3.

It is important to remember when deciding which staves should be merged, that if the instruments on the staves are different, only the staff into which the other staff/staves are to be merged will retain its MIDI configuration (e.g. instrument, device etc).
