Score Layout several instruments

Cubase
,
1

Hi!
When printing music for several different instruments I would like them all to have the same layout so that one simply can tell the players to start playing from line 4 or from the third bar of line 7.
There must be a faster way than with trial and error. I seem to recall that around Cubase SX and before there was a command in the Layout page where one could copy not just the Form but also copy the Layout between different instruments.
Now there is only Get Form and before there was also Get Layout.

What’s the easiest way of achieving a uniform layout for several instruments?

Also missing the Get Layout-option.
Found any workaround?

Yes, that was more convenient than now. Instead, Export the desired Layout, then you can re_import it to the Layout that is currently active.

Oh, sounds really good! :slight_smile:
Have to hurry home to try it out.
Many thanks!

Working with Cubase 12 Pro now, and as expected the “Importing Symbols from Another Layout” STILL is not working as described. Yes, this was a simple matter WAY back in the Cubase VST days. How can it NOT be possible in PRO 12?!

I think I posted this before, but received no help. So here goes again:

P.202 in the Score and Printing Manual (identical to the Pro 11 Manual):

"You can import all layout symbols from the selected layout into the current layout. <yes please!>
PROCEDURE

  1. Select Scores > Settings.
  2. Open the Layout tab.
  3. In the Layouts list, select the layout that you want to use for importing. <so far so good!>
  4. Open the Functions pop-up menu, and select Get Form. <that’s what I want!>
    RESULT
    All layout symbols from the selected layout are imported to the current layout."
    <well yes, got all the symbols and everything I want, but got all the notes from that layout also!>

Am I missing something here? It say “Get Form”. If I wanted EVERYTHING from the other layout I’d just copy it in the main window!

I can get the bar symbols and arrangement by EXPORTING from the first (source) layout and IMPORTING to the second layout, which is sorta helpful, but what about the rehearsal letters, dynamics, text, etc.?

HELP please! I’m waiting on this so I can finish and print a big band arrangement - this feature would obviously be VERY helpful. How does it work?
