“I’m using ScanScore Melody, which should recognize one staff per system. My sheet has exactly that \u2013 one line per system. But ScanScore claims there are more and asks me to upgrade. Why?”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“I have ScanScore Ensemble, which allows scanning up to four staves per system. My score is just piano and vocals \u2013 three staves \u2013 yet I get an error and the scan fails!”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These are some of the most frequent support tickets we receive. The problem? It isn\u2019t always is just your license \u2013 it\u2019s the way ScanScore interpreted the system layout<\/strong> of your score. And that\u2019s exactly where the System Editor<\/strong> becomes essential.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udee0 What is the System Editor?<\/h3>\n

The System Editor<\/strong> is a powerful feature in ScanScore that lets you manage which staves belong to which system \u2013 and adjust them manually<\/strong> if needed.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd You can find it here:<\/strong>
Organize Menu \u2192 Organize Staves \u2192 Connect or Disconnect Staves<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is especially helpful when the automatic recognition process doesn\u2019t quite get things right. Upgrade<\/a> or ask the someone or the support with a higher version than yours to take a look at the System Editor! You can not split or edit scores out of your license range yourself.<\/p>\n
