- What do those dollar signs under HEAD+FOOT mean?
- These are macros. A macro is an abbreviation for something that "has yet to be completed". An example. You can put the last modified date above a piece of music by entering the current date under [Options|Header and footer|Top left]. If you change something about the music, you have to adjust the date again afterwards. If you use the date macro $D instead, the last modified date will always be filled in, without you having to do anything yourself!
- I've been messing around with headers and footers because I don't quite understand what to do with them. How can I put everything right again?
- 1) Use (multiple times if necessary)
- 2) Go to [Header and footer] and press the Default button
- How can I get the page number in the header instead of the footer?
- Use the macro $# (page number) in eg [Options|Header+Footer|Trailing Header Right]. If you also want a page number on the first page, also set [Options|Header+Foot|Headertop right] to $#
- I don't want to see part titles above the bar. What do I have to change for that?
- Uncheck [Options|Text Format|Part Title], or delete the titles in the score overview (not the part name!)
- I want to see part titles above each bar. How?
- Check [Options|Text Format|Part Title] and adjust its layout if necessary.
- How do I get rid of the tempo indication in the head?
- Easiest: uncheck the header-bottom-left display. You can also delete the affected macros $@ $m in the lower left header.
- I don't want a footer at the bottom of the page. What should I do?
- Uncheck display all footers under [Options|Header and footer]
- I want to use a different font for the headline. How?
- Go to [Options|Header and footer|Top Center] and press the button next to the text. Then change the font.
- I used the macro $P for part title in the top right header, but I don't see anything when I print the part. How is that possible?
- Probably Score is checked in the score overview. Only in singe part view there is 1 part title.
- How do I change a part title?
- Under [Score overview] <F3> under the heading title.
- I changed the melody title in [Header and footer] but on page two I still see the old title. What happened?
- In principle, you enter the melody title(s) under [Titles dialog|] Under header and footer, you then determine with a macro ($T) where the title should appear. The piece title usually goes in a big font centered on page one, and small op top of other pages.
- When I open music made with an earlier MusiCAD version, the header and footer are wrong. What should I do about it?
- Apply the [Template|default header and footer] template.
- I want to quickly give existing music its own layout. What's the easiest way?
- Use custom template. See further under Frequently asked questions about layout templates.
