I work on baroque music, so I typically do data entry first, then
clean up after I have done all my proof-reading.
Usually I have to use the page layout tool to reduce the size of the
systems to get at least 2 on a page.
Typically what I do is tweak the sizing a bit, and once I'm happy, I
manually adjust the first page by dragging and seeing how things look.
My question involves the subsequent pages---is there a trick or
technique to making sure all the pages are uniform in how the systems
lay out on the pages?
In other words, so when you go from page to page, the systems don't
jiggle around (because you didn't place them in the right spot).
My technique is to zoom on each page, use grids and snap the system
to it, and tweak it that way.
Is there an easier way or am I doing this correctly.
Wow, that seems like you are doing it all backwards, no? I don't think I
quite follow you. Why do you have to snap systems anywhere?
Generally you should use System Reduction, and make sure that you apply
this from the first system to all systems, and update the page layout
(there is a checkbox for this). If you do this before you optimize all
the staff spacing etc will automatically copy to all systems. They
should just flow, then you optimize (to make sure things don't run into
eachother) and then space systems with the appropriate command.
But perhaps I am not getting what you are after.
