776 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
To assign a staff style (predefined or user-created) to a MIDI region:
1 Select the MIDI region.
2 Choose the desired staff style from the Style parameter pop-up menu in the Display
Parameter box.
You can also simultaneously assign a staff style to several selected regions.
Automatic Staff Style Assignment
When you create a new MIDI region, either by making a real time recording or with the
Pencil tool in the Arrange area, the MIDI region will be assigned the staff style selected
in the bottom line of the Track Parameter box.
When you create template projects, or begin work on a new project, you may wish to
change these settings for tracks that are likely to use a specific staff style. This ensures
that regions recorded on these tracks will immediately be displayed with the correct
staff style
If Auto Style is chosen in the bottom line of the Track Parameter box, every new MIDI
region will automatically be assigned a staff style that fits the register of the recorded
notes. In other words, a Bass staff style will be selected automatically if your region
consists of notes played in a low octave. Similarly, two-handed parts will be assigned a
Piano staff style.
Note: Auto Style can only be chosen in the Arrange area’s Track Parameter box, and
does not appear in the list of staff styles in the Score Editor’s Display Parameter box.
