[Solved] Convert Single Line Staff To Normal Staff

#1

Is there a way to convert a single line percussion staff to a normal 5-line staff and vice-versa.

I have tried searching without success.

The only way I can think of is to add a normal 5-line instrument then rename it.

Thanks.

The staff type should be in Layout Options > Player > Percussion.
You can rename instruments in Setup Mode. In the Players panel, click on the arrow to show a player’s instruments and then hover over the instrument and click on the arrow that’s appearing there to rename it.

Make sure that the percussion instrument is part of a percussion kit: you can do this by right-clicking the player’s card in Setup mode and choosing Combine Instruments into Kit.

Thank you VIPStephan and Daniel. That did it.
