These preferences affect the appearance of specific windows.
Environment: Allow ‘All Objects’ Layer
A layer, showing every object in your Environment, is accessible from the Layer menu in
the Environment. If this checkbox is not active, the All Objects layer will not be
available.
Piano Roll Background Colors: Background Type
These radio buttons allow you to select a dark or bright Piano Roll Editor background
color.
Piano Roll Background Colors: Color Setup Panel
The Piano Roll Editor features a grid that follows the pattern of the keyboard keys
shown on the left hand side. The parameters in this recessed panel can alter the colors
of the Piano Roll Editor grid, background, lines, and so on—for both the bright and
dark background views.
 White Keys: Double-click on the color field to open the Colors window. Select or
determine the desired color for the grid lines, aligned with the white keyboard keys.
 Black Keys: As above, for the black keyboard keys.
 C, D, E Key Brightness: This slider allows you to intensify the brightness of these
specific keys in all octaves, making transposition easier by providing a consistent
reference point.
 Bar Lines/Dotted: Determines the transparency of the bar lines. The Dotted checkbox
changes the appearance of the solid bar line to a dotted line.
 Beat Lines/Dotted: As above for beat lines.
 Division Lines/Dotted: As above for division lines.
 Reset: This button resets all user changes to default values.
