linked staff in version 4

• Feb 18, 2025 - 16:58

I've been using the linked staff feature on version 3 to add a tab staff to my bass guitar notation. I will need to do the same in 4, but can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I'd use the feature to link baritone (treble clef) to baritone (bass clef) to cut down having to do it twice - if that is even possible.

Click the New button from the Home tab. In the New score dialog, enter the instrument you want to create a linked tab on. (Add whatever other instruments are required as well.) Continue to the Score tab.

On the Score tab, with one staff for the instrument in question, open the Instruments tab (upper left, with Palettes and Properties). Find the instrument and click the small triangle (pointing left) next to it. That will give you this screen:

For my example, I used a piano with only the treble clef. Note that both the instrument (Piano) and the clef (Treble clef) have their own gear to the right. Click the gear next to the clef (highlit yellow in the screenshot above) to get the following screen:

Click the Create linked staff button (highlit blue) to create the linked staff. It creates a staff identical to the one it is linked to. Simply make whatever changes you want in the two staves separately. The notes will remain the same between them.
