Blank stavesĬan I add more pages of such blank staves to a part, you ask? Well, not with braces of clefs, but you can now specify that a frame be filled with empty staves. They will however, be drawn according to choices regarding staves in Layout Options, such as vertical spacing. Note that those staves are not interactive with the user: you cannot write on them. If I choose to make sure that the final system is not justified using the Note Spacing option in Layout Options, we can also make it look like this, where the end of the final system continues as a blank staff:Īs can be seen from the menu, we can have those staves without clefs or have them display as single staves even on a grand staff instrument if you so choose.

In the traditional days of hand-copied parts, maximum legibility meant that a part would be copied without necessarily paying attention to whether or not a page should be full, or even whether the final system should justify or not. In the first instance, what we are discussing here are sometimes referred to as “Hollywood-style” parts. Beginning with the 3.5 release, Dorico supports creating empty staves either at the end of a part layout, or simply in order to create custom manuscript paper.
