The Layout Settings dialog allows you to change various aspects of each layout independently.

Note

Options in Layout Settings affect only the selected layouts, but apply to all tracks in those layouts. Any changes apply to the current project only.

To open the Layout Settings dialog, do one of the following:

  • Select Score > Layout Settings.

  • On the Score Editor toolbar, click the Layout field to open the Layouts pane, and click Settings.

  • On the Visibility tab of the Score Editor, click Settings.

The Layout Settings dialog contains the following tabs:

Layout

Allows you to change various aspects of each layout, such as page size, staff size or margins, and how the music appears and is laid out, for example in terms of note spacing or staff labels.

Instrument

Allows you to view and manually change the instrument type for a track. You can also access voice and quantize settings.

Note

When you first open a MIDI part in the Score Editor, Cubase automatically maps an instrument to it, based on the name of the corresponding MIDI track and the range of the MIDI notes. This has an impact on the number of staves and the clef on each stave.

If you change the instrument type manually, the new mapping is applied permanently.
