Hello,

I'm using SIBELIUS FIRST.

I'm writing a song for a vocal and piano. I want to print the parts out afterwards.
There is no problem with printing vocal part.

But.
I want to print the piano part in such way so there is a vocal part visible above but significantly smaller by size in comparing to the piano part.
You know. So the pianist could navigate with using vocal part above but wouldn't be distracted by the vocal part's same size.

Any help?

T.I.A.

I don't know if you can do this in First.
From the manual for the full version:

"To make a staff go smaller than other staves, choose Home > Instruments > Add or Remove,
select the staff in question in the Staves in score list, and switch on the Small staff checkbox,
then click OK.
By default, small staves are 75% of normal size, but you can adjust this on the Staves page of
Appearance > House Style > Engraving Rules"

Thanks mate!

Well.
There is no such menu as 'home' in first but with "i" button you can actually jump to instruments adding/removing window.
So I checked this small staff checkbox and... voila!

Thank you again :)
I owe u a beer!
