Chords and marks
Pedal event parameters are as follows:
If the track is split into treble/bass staves, pedal marks are allowed only below the bass staff.
You can suppress the display of all pedal marks by deselecting the Show Pedal Events option in
the Staff view's Layout dialog box.
To add a pedal mark
3. Select the Draw Freehand tool in the Control Bar.
4. Click the Pedal button in the Staff view.
5. Position the pointer below the staff (the pointer changes to a pencil when you are in a legal
position).
6. Click to place a pedal mark.
SONAR inserts a pair of pedal symbols (a pedal down and a pedal up). You can click and drag either
symbol to a new time.
To edit a pedal event
1. Right-click the pedal symbol (pedal down or pedal up) to open the Pedal Event Parameters
dialog box.
Figure 305. The Pedal Proerties dialog.
2. Edit the pedal event parameters, as described in the table above.
3. Click OK.
SONAR changes the pedal event parameters, including moving the symbol to a new time if
necessary.
Parameters Meaning
Time The time of the event, in measures, beats, and ticks (MBT).
Channel The MIDI channel on which the event will be sent.
Value The event value. A value of 127 depresses the pedal, a value of 0 raises it. (Some
advanced synthesizers support values between 0 and 127 for “partial pedaling.”)
