Andrew,

Update Groups in TGTools will do exactly what you need. Since your staves are optimized, nothing you do in scroll view will render in page view unless you reoptimize. Probably something you won't want to do at this point. Select the staff/group in page view using Mass Edit, and run the plugin. The only caveat I've had in the past has been that TGTools finds something in the score that makes it barf. This will bring back a dialog box that says there is one or more groups it cannot identify, and then it suggests you run the plugin again, rebuilding groups from scratch, which is one of the options. This could create other issues for your score, at least it did for me in a huge opera score earlier this year.

But this will update many facets of groups and includes many selectable options. Give it a try.

One word:  TGTools

Where, exactly? I don't see anything there that would apply.

Others suggested changing the name in the normal way--but this affects only unoptimized pages.

And to be precise, this is not actually a staff name, it's a group name: celesta. I want to change the abbreviation from csta. to the more conventional cel.
