The Staff View
save your file, whatever size the Staff view is will be the way it appears the
next time you open the file.
The Staff pane displays MIDI note events as musical notation. For some
musicians, this may be the most familiar and comfortable view in which to
work. The Staff pane provides many features that make it easy for you to
compose, edit, and print music.
For guitar players who are new to musical notation, the Fretboard
represents the notes in the Staff pane as they would appear on a six-string
guitar neck in standard tuning. The number of strings and the tuning are
configurable. All notes that appear in the Staff pane at the Now time are
shown in the Fretboard. If you enter notes in the Staff at the Now time, they
appear on the Fretboard. Likewise, you can enter notes into the Staff at the
Now time by clicking the guitar strings on the fretboard. Notes and chords
shown in the Fretboard can be easily edited by dragging them up and down
the guitar strings.
