Re: Independent Cover Pages for Parts
Thanks Zuill. Didn’t think of using the text insert for score/part name. I’ll give that a try. But do you know why the text block from my harp part blank page automatically reappeared on the blank page I created for the organ part? I wasn’t expecting that.

Independent Cover Pages for Parts
In order for the layout of page turns to work properly, I created a blank page at the beginning of the harp part and used the text tool to create a cover page which included the instrument name: "Harp". When I attempted to add a blank page at the beginning of the organ part, the blank page was creat...

Autosave not working
I started getting a pop-up that says:
The document “XXXXXXX” could not be autosaved. The file doesn’t exist.
Yet I am able to manually save it and it is being stored in a folder on my Icloud drive.
Can anyone tell me why autosave is not working?
Many thanks.

Is there a way to insert the Title and the Part Name centered at the top of each page, from page 2 to the end of the piece? For example: "Symphony No. 4 - Harp" at the top of the harp part on all pages from page 2 to the end? I know how to enter the Title only and the Instrument/Part name only, but ...

I am hoping someone can advise me on the best/most efficient way to correctly notate a harp glissando. I would like to show all 7 notes of the diatonic scale (with accidentals where applicable), and also have the initial note of the gliss. contain the complete rhythmic value the glissando will cover...

Peter, Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. The idea of moving the two default document styles into a new sub-folder worked great the first time. But today when I opened the Set-up Wizard, the two default document styles were back at the top of the list. I checked in the document styles fol...

Re: Can I make Kontakt 5 the default device?
Mike, I'll try saving as a template and see if that works, but since I use piano in a lot of different pieces with different combinations of instruments, I was hoping there was a way to select piano in the set-up wizard and automatically get the 3rd party piano sound I prefer.

Can I make Kontakt 5 the default device?
In the score manager, is there a way to select a piano (in the instrument column) and have only that instrument default to Kontakt 5 (in the device column)?
Many thanks.

Re: Making hairpins stay in front of created blank white spa
OK. Thanks for letting me know. I thought it might look better to white out bar lines where hairpins pass through. Glad to know its not necessary. Just checked Gould, and she agrees. Thanks again for all the helpful replies.

Making hairpins stay in front of created blank white space
I created an opaque borderless rectangle (a blank white space) in the expression designer to hide a small portion of bar lines between two grouped staves . . . so that hairpins could cross over these bar lines without touching them. All worked fine, except now I can't figure out how to keep the hair...

Thanks Zuill. I really appreciate your help and expertise.

Re: Hairpins
I created the hairpins with smart shapes, creating a crescendo and then creating an adjacent decrescendo. The openings are different sizes depending on the lengths of the cresc.or decresc.
