SkeletonScore
A plugin for MuseScore. Quickly add line breaks, page breaks, and section breaks to a score to match the layout of a PDF or paper edition.
Instructions
The plugin opens a dialog with a text field where you can write your layout in code form, such as:
4 5 4
3 4
Each row of numbers represents a page of music in the score, and each number represents the number of measures in one system.
The code basically means:
- Skip 4 measures and add a line break
- Skip 5 measures and add a line break
- Skip 4 measures and add a page break (i.e. create a 2nd page)
- Skip 3 measures and add a line break
- The final system contains 4 measures.
The type of layout break used is determined by the whitespace character(s) immediately following each number. The possible values are:
- Space (
- Newline (
\n) - adds a page break - Double newline (
\n\n) - adds a section break
