You can show notes and rests on condensed staves in gray to help you identify condensed music. Condensed music cannot be selected or edited directly.

Condensed music colors are considered annotations and are not printed by default.

Note

Condensed music colors only appear in layouts where condensing is enabled.

Procedure

Choose View > Note And Rest Colors > Condensed Music.

Result

Notes and rests on condensed staves appear gray when a tick appears beside Condensed Music in the menu, and black when no tick appears.

Example

Condensing colors shown, causing notes and rests to appear black on the uncondensed piccolo staff and gray on the condensed Flutes 1-2 staff.
