“Max. Dots”: This setting determines the maximum
number of dots in the display of dotted notes. When it’s at
“0”, MAGIX midi studio generation 6 shows no dots at all.
Max. Dots = 3 (top) and 1
In normal use you can leave the value at “1”. The number
of dots that are shown are also affected by the display
quantization and the Interpretation and Syncopation
modes.
Inserting symbols from the partbox
A complete score needs more symbols (slurs, dynamic
signs, fermata and so on) and other notation signs than
the program is able to automatically create from its inter-
pretation of the MIDI events you record. These symbols
can all be inserted from the partbox using the mouse.
Clefs, time signatures and key signatures can also be
dragged in from this partbox.
The majority of these symbols have no effect on the MIDI
playback, only on the display.
The symbols are all in the partbox and can be dragged
from there onto the staves.
If you cannot see the partbox, check that “Hide/Show Pa-
rameters” in the local Options menu is active. Otherwise,
make the window taller and/or minimize the Display and
Event Parameter boxes. The width of the partbox can be
varied by horizontally dragging the vertical dividing line
between the parameter area and the Score area.
As you can see from the diagram (left), the partbox width
adapts itself to the width of the parameter area. This is so
you can adjust it to the size of your screen.
The partbox comprises two sections:
The top section contains buttons that select the overall
symbol “families”. Click a button and the corresponding
family moves to the top of the partbox section below. The
bottom section contains the symbol fields. The displayed
symbols depend on which family of symbols you selected.
Inserting symbols: Symbols are inserted the same way
as notes: click the pen tool (right mouse button) in the
stave. Use the eraser tool to delete them, and the normal
arrow tool for moving or copying them (pressing ctrl). You
