Active staffline

Only one staff can be edited at a time. Positioning your mouse over a staff will

text and lyrics) can then be edited. You can choose to display just the active staff or

to all staves in black.

To display all staff lines in solid black,

· Go to the View menu and uncheck Show Active Staff.

To lock the active staff and allow the mouse to move anywhere,

· Hit the Caps Lock key. To unlock the active staff, press again.
