Hello!
Andy, many thanks for Your help. However, it is still a couple of things, which
I don’t understand. The first thing is combining the parts. As far as I
understand, I should go to the “parts and voices dialog”, select for example
the first oboe and press “together”. After that, I should check the “uniform
stem direction” checkbox and select “up” for the first part, and “down for the
second. Is that right? The second question is about page size. Now, when I just
created new score, the page width is set to 7,6, and page height is set to
10,1. I understood, that I should swap the values in order to print in
landscape mode, or I got it wrong.
Dmitry.

Dmitry,
The way to do that is to just open a new score in Lime. It will default to the
letter paper size. Depending upon how dense the music is, 4 measure per page
should be fine, but keep only one system per page. (After completing the
following steps, we will format and rotate the page so that it reads in
landscape mode, which is proper for an orchestral score.)
1. Start in the Parts and Voices dialogue: Alt, v, v. Make the first part
"Flute". Then start adding the other parts. (For now, keep the pairs of
instruments on separate staves. We'll combine them after entering all the notes
in.) Once you have all the parts in the correct order, hit enter. Save the
piece.
2. Enter all the notes into all the parts. Be sure to delete any extra measures
at the end of the piece and place your double bar line. Save the piece.
3. Once you've got all the notes entered in, we can format the page: Alt, f, l,
will give you the "Layout" dialogue. First set "Points to left of Staff: At
start of piece" to 100. This will leave room for your labels. A4 paper size is
slight larger than "letter" size, so the dimensions of the printable area
should be reversed for landscape mode: 7.6 by 10.1. Hit enter to accept your
changes and exit the Layout dialogue and the "Print Setup" dialogue will open
automatically. Select the radio button for "Landscape" and hit enter to accept
your changes and close the dialogue box. Now your piece is set to print in
landscape mode on A4 size paper. Save the piece.
4. Now you can go back to "Parts and Voices" and combine the oboes, clarinets,
and other pairs. Hit enter to accept your changes. Save the piece.
5. Now select the first note of the first staff, type Alt, a, t, l (for
Labels), and type "Flute" to label the first staff. Do the same for the other
staves. (For oboes 1 and 2, select only the first note of the oboe 1 part and
enter the label "Oboes". This will label the staff for both oboes.) Save the
piece.
6. Finally, enter your Title, tempo, and any other annotations you want. Do
this after all the other steps so that Lime formats the annotations properly.
Save the piece and print it. The paper will come out of the printer with the
top of the page on the right side of the printer.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Hello all!
I need to make an orchestral score and then print it out on a4 paper. I was
thinking, that the template provided with Lime aloud will suit my needs, but I
have discovered, that the paper size in the “layout” dialog is set much larger
then I usually do for a4. Could someone tell me settings for approximately good
looking orchestral score (settings in layout dialog, measures per systems and
systems per page settings, ETC). I am going to print the score for 1 flute, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings without the contrabass. I
will not be using percussion, piano, harp and any brass except horn. Bass
clarinet and contrabassoon are also not be in use.
Thanks in advance.
Dmitry.
