Command Location: File Menu
New scores can be created in several different ways.
New scores always open up in Edit Mode, Normal Entry, ready for editing.
Create a New Score From Scratch
Open the 'New Score' dialog from the File Menu, or the Launch Screen.
From the 'Score Type' tab, select 'New Score', and the number of staves. You can specify the instruments for these staves later, using the Staff Manager Dialog. At the bottom of the dialog, select the number of measures you want to see in the score initially (default 30).
If you want to specify the Time Signature, Key Signature and Tempo, select each tab as appropriate, and enter the desired value.
When you have specified the score settings, hit OK to create your score.
When the score has been created, you are ready to start composing right away.
Generate a New Score Using an Existing Score Template
Score templates contain all the foundations for a new score. Read more about creating new templates.
Open the 'New Score' dialog from the File Menu, or the Launch Screen.
From the 'Score Type' tab, select 'New Score from Template', and choose a template from the list available below. At the bottom of the dialog, select the number of measures you want to see in the score initially (default 30).
Note that the Time Signature, Key Signature and Tempo tabs are hidden as these characteristics are all determined by the template.
Hit OK to create your score.
Generate a New Score Using the 'Default' Score Template
Read more about the 'default' template.
To generate a score using the 'default' template, choose New Default Score from the File Menu commands. A score with the default 30 measures will be created based on the default template.
Alternatively, open the 'New Score' dialog from the File Menu, or the Launch Screen.
Select 'New Score from Template', and choose the 'default' template from the template list. At the bottom of the dialog, select the number of measures you want to see in the score initially (default 30).
