Creating Piano-Voice score

[MartinW]

I'm new to Crescendo, having worked with Music Time Deluxe previously.

 

I am trying to create a piano-voice score, with vocal line at the top and a piano staff below it. Beginning with the New Score, I see a single staff. Clicking Parts brings up a menu in the right of the score. The options I see are New Staff or New Part. If I click New Staff, it adds a second staff and a brace, but both staves have treble clefs so it isn't as I need it for the piano. If I click New Part instead, it adds a second staff with a treble clef but without the brace. If I then put the cursor on the second staff and click on New Staff, it adds a third staff below the two existing staves and adds a brace joining the top two staves - still not the right format for voice above piano. There seems to be no way to change this so that I have a top single staff and a pair of treble and bass staves below it with a brace to use for the piano score. Please advise in complete detail how to generate this format!

Is anyone looking at this? Please respond.

Welcome MartinW,

 

You can Achieve this by opening the parts dialog adding a second part and a new staff. If the part with two staves are above the part with a single staff click on the lower part and press the blue "Up" arrow.

 

To change a clef (from treble to bass for example) right click on the clef and in the clef sub menu select 'bass'.

 

This should give you what you want.
