To create a cue staff

You can also create an entire staff at a reduced size.

1. Enter the music at normal size. If you’re not in Page View, choose Page View from the View menu.
2. Click the Resize Tool , and click on the desired staff (not on a note or other element). The Resize Staff dialog box appears.
3. Enter the desired reduction value. For a cue staff, 60% to 75% of full size would be a typical reduction.
4. Specify the range of systems in which you want this staff reduced. You can also reduce an entire system. Follow these same instructions, but instead of clicking on a staff, click between two staves. You’ll be offered two extra options: Hold Margins (to ensure that the horizontal dimension of the system doesn’t get reduced) and Resize Vertical Space (to reduce the space below the system as well). For a further discussion of these options, see Resize Staff System dialog box.
5. Click OK (or press enter).
