I’ve read through all the existing documentation regarding music frames, and I think I’m getting it, but I have a few questions:
-
When I draw layout music frames, they are assigned LA, LB, etc. But when I draw a second master page music frame, it starts at MJ… or sometimes MK… or MI. Why do these not consistently start at MB? What’s the reasoning behind choosing the particular suffix for these new master page frame chains?
-
Does the first music frame in a music frame chain always start at the first bar of a flow? How would I display a music frame chain that starts at, say, bar 8?
-
When I’m creating a layout music frame in a part layout, is it intended that I can only display those players that are selected to be displayed in that layout? I see that all players are listed in the checkbox; wondering if that’s intended, if they in fact cannot all be selected. When I select a player that is not supposed to be present in that flow, I get a blank frame. IMO, it would be helpful if the dropdown listed only the “possible” players - that is, players that are assigned to that layout.
-
Is there a way to reduce the size of music in a music frame only, without reducing the staff size for the entire flow? I know I can do this by manually selecting “Make into frame” and opening the properties for the signpost. Wondering if that’s the intended method here.
-
Am I correct in understanding that frame order (the second dropdown) can only be changed for frame chains on the same page?
Thanks. Just trying to make sure I understand how to most effectively use music frames.
