Once you have recognized and edited your music, you can extract and recombine parts and voices, create a conductor's score from separate parts, resize staves and systems or reformat the entire score. This chapter covers various ways of altering the ENF score structure.Below is an example of a vocal / piano arrangement. Here is how to extract the vocal line and open it in a fresh document.
a. Position your cursor over an ENF system that contains the part you wish to extract. Hit Ctrl+M (Cmnd+M for Mac). The System Manager will open.
b. Check the box "Visibility" in lower left-hand corner of the window. This informs the System Manager of the kind of action we are taking.
c. Now we will choose which parts to extract. To the left of the parts you do not wish to extract, remove the visibility checkmarks. This leaves only the part(s) you wish to extract with checkmarks.
d. Press Apply to New to create a new score, leaving the current file unaffected. Or press OK to remove parts from the open document.
Below is the result of the extracting the part shown in the figure above.
Let's go back to the original ENF document, (Gluck.enf / tif or any three part score). Let's say we want to extract a contrapuntal voice from the right hand part.
c. Make sure "Visibility" in lower left-hand corner is checked.
d. Press Apply to New to create a new score, leaving the current file unaffected. Or press OK to isolate the part in the open document.
Here is the result of extracting Voice #1 from the right hand piano part:
Measures, staff lines and systems can be resized, compressed or expanded from the ENF view while keeping proper note spacing (punctuation) intact. Measures can be scrolled from one system to another both manually and automatically. When the time comes to print out the score, several page layouts can be selected, page margins can be modified and pages of the score can be previewed.
NOTE: Reformatting any part of the ENF view may cause a loss of synchronization with the original scanned image. If this occurs, the floating Scan View reference window will open. To open the Scan View window manually, check Scan View window in the View menu.
Staff and system spacing can be changed by simply dragging distance tabs up or down. Settings can also be made numerically using a dialog box described on "Globally applying line, staff and system spacing". But that dialog is meant to apply changes to other systems.
Drag the tab aligned with the bottom staff line of any part up or down. The staff will resize vertically.
Position the cursor over a staff to make it active. Drag the lowest tab up or down. The distance between the home staff and the staff below it will change. To change the distance between the active staff and the staff above it, drag the "T" tab (top).
Spacing of any system can be applied to subsequent or all other systems. For example, a piano accompaniment with smaller solo part can be easily created by reducing the staff height of just one system.
a. Position your cursor over the "template" system. This will become the baseline to change other systems. Right-click (alt + click for Mac).
NOTE: Distance, line spacing and offset settings simply reflect the position of graphical spacing tabs described on "Changing staff and system spacing". Normally, tabs should be used to change spacing parameters.
c. In the Copy Settings To area, select either "Next Systems" or "All Systems". Next Systems will change subsequent systems and All Systems will change all systems in the score.
d. Push Copy to apply the change. Push OK to close the window.
System widths can be controlled in two ways: 1) adjusting individual systems by dragging either end point tab in the upper ruler margin or
2) changing document layout and/or page margins in Page Setup. "Document Page Setup"
Several interesting and useful reformatting possibilities can be applied when barlines are repositioned in Nudge mode:
Resizing adjacent measures by dragging barline horizontally
See "Nudge mode (Shift button)".
Shuttling measures in/out of systems by dragging last barline
See "Nudge Mode (Barlines)".
Score Structure (Edit > Score Structure) is a powerful tool that allows you to create entirely new scores by removing, creating and re-linking parts. By simply dragging links around, you have the ability to remove parts, extract parts and join individual part scores into multi-part "conductor" scores. See "Scanning Part Scores (Score-Parts)" for more info.
An ENF file was recognized from 3 part scores (each having one Part per Score-Part). A "Score-Part" consists of all the pages of a single instrument in a part score. Some Score-Parts may contain more than one Part (a piano Score-Part has 2 Parts and an organ Score-Part has 3 Parts). Let's view the structure of a part score and then combine all parts into one document.
b. Click on any Score-Part to highlight it and push the Insert button at the bottom of the window. You will see a blank Score-Part appear.
NOTE: Inserting a new ENF Document will work just as well. In either case, applying the change (Apply to New) will create a brand new ENF document, leaving the original file untouched.
To the left, a new, empty Score-Part was Inserted (you could also re-link parts to an existing Score-Part). Here, the new Score-Part is given a name (Win: Right-click / Mac: Option + click to open its Properties).
To relink any structural object, click on the object and drag it to another object in an adjacent column.
Here, the three existing parts are relinked to the newly created Score-Part (named Conductor's).
Highlight the unlinked Score-Parts and push Remove. Push Apply to New. The modified structure is transformed to a new ENF document.
Extracting instrumental parts out of a conductor's score in Score Structure is similar to creating a conductor's score from score-parts, just reversed. NOTE: All SmartScore files (ENF documents) must contain at least one Score-Part linked to at least one Part.
Here is a typical "ensemble" score (ENF Document) which will contain one Score Part with several Parts linked to it.
Three new Score-Parts Insert. To name, Right-click (option + click for Mac) in Properties. Drag each Part (child) to new Score Parts (parent) to reconfigure each open ENF document. Push Apply to New to spawn off a new document with included data. This will create a file with 4 Score-Parts arranged in order. Playback remains synchronized and the original ENF document remains unchanged.
