Notation Display Track
Settings
The Notation Display Track settings determine
how individual MIDI and Instrument tracks appear
in the Score Editor. You can set the Clef, Display
Quantization, and whether or not to display the
track at “concert pitch” or as a transposing instru-
ment (such as a B-flat tenor sax).
To configure the Notation Display Track settings:
1 Do one of the following:
• From the Track menu in the Score Editor, select
Notation Display Track Settings.
• Right-click in the Score Editor and select
Nota-
tion Display Track Settings
.
• Double-click a Clef on a Staff.
2 From the Track pop-up menu, select the MIDI
or Instrument track whose Notation Display
Settings you want to change.
3 Configure the settings.
4 Repeat the preceding steps for other MIDI and
Instrument tracks as necessary.

Track
From the Track pop-up menu, select the track you
want to configure.
Clef
From the Clef pop-up menu, select the Clef you
want for the selected track from the following op-
tions:
• Grand Staff
• Treble Clef
• Bass Clef
•Alto Clef
• Tenor Clef
Display Transposition
From the Key pop-up menu, select the key of
Transposition for the track. For instruments that
transpose from another octave, you can also adjust
the Octave slider. For example, for a Bass Clarinet
track, select the Key of B-flat and set the Octave
slider to +1. This way, when you print the Bass
Clarinet part, the player will be able to read the part
and concert pitch will sound correctly a major
ninth below where the part is written.
Attributes
The Attributes tab lets you specify the notation dis-
play quantization settings for the selected track. If
the
Clef is set to Grand Staff, you can also set the
Split Point to divide notes between the treble and
bass clefs.
