To Change a Note’s Enharmonic Spelling
1. Right-click the note to open the Note Properties dialog box.
2. In the Pitch textbox, type a new spelling for the note.
3. Click OK.
SONAR displays the note with the new enharmonic spelling.
You can change enharmonic spellings in other views, such as the Event List view, by similarly typing
a new spelling wherever the note pitch is displayed as a text string.
You can also use the Process > Interpolate command to change enharmonic spellings—for
example, to change multiple occurrences of Eb5 to D#5, or even all Ebs to D#s. See “Process >
Interpolate” on page 509 for more information.
MIDI Channels and the Fretboard
You can display notes on the fretboard based on the note event’s MIDI channel. (Do not confuse this
with the Track MIDI channel.) A single track can hold events on many different MIDI channels. See
“Assigning a MIDI channel (Chn)” on page 211 for more information. Displaying notes using this
method is 100% accurate because each string is represented by an individual MIDI channel. For
example, String 1 = MIDI channel 11, String 2 = MIDI channel 12, etc.
To Display Notes on the Fretboard Using their MIDI Channels
1. Set your MIDI guitar to transmit on 6 consecutive channels. This is often referred to as “MONO”
mode. Refer to your MIDI Guitar device documentation for more information.
2. Select and Arm a track.
