Copyright notice only on first page of piece

• Jan 22, 2019 - 00:16

Is there a way to put the copyright notice ONLY on the first page of a piece? I have a rather large notice of permission that I am required to include with the copyright notice, and other than on the first page, the text of the copyright notice, because of its size, begins to encroach upon the music. Thanks in advance.

Use $C with a capital C and make sure Show first page is checked.

I'm not totally clear on how to do that with what I have. This is my copyright notice with the permission notice (that has to be EXACTLY reproduced) in it:

Copy that and paste it into the Copyright field of the the Score Properties, which is found under the File menu. In version 3 choose Format->Style...->Header, Footer in version 2 choose Styles->General...->Header, Footer, number then all should make sense.

To get it copyright credit ONLY on first page>

First go to Styles then go to Headers & Footers
Once you are on this window, use the bottom section for FOOTERS
To center the copyright credit, use "Middle"
Place the "$C" before your text.
make sure to check the box indicate just that (Show on first page)
You ALSO need to check the box DIFFERENT ODD/EVEN PAGES
