Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the keyboard shortcuts for the toolstrip?

Every color-coded tool group in the toolstrip correponds to a row of keys on your keyboard. For a more detailed explanation, please see the section titled "The Toolstrip" in the second chapter of your User's Guide.

2. How do I prevent the notation elements in one staff from colliding with another staff?

To increase the space between staves, select Staves from the Score menu. Choose the staff that needs more space, and increase either one of the Levels Above or Level Below.

3. How do I prevent the tempo mark or other marks on the first line from colliding with title elements such as Lyricist and Composer?

Select Layout from the Score menu and increase the height of the Title Area.

4. How do I assign a tuning to a staff?

In Mus2, tunings and key signatures are handled together as a single entity. To assign a tuning and its associated key signature to a bar, select the Key & Rhythm tool from the toolstrip and use the Key Signature sub-tool.

5. I can enter more notes in a bar than the time signature allows. Is this a bug?

Mus2 does not enforce the rhythmic value of a time signature on bars. This is by design and allows you to work more easily when editing your score or correcting errors.
