Note-heads: MAGIX midi studio generation 6 defaults to
giving each note the note-head that corresponds to its
value. The partbox note-heads relate to percussion and can
be manually assigned to existing notes: select one or more
notes and insert the desired note-head onto anyone of
them.
Articulation signs: These signs are assigned to individual
notes. Any change to a note (e.g. transposition) affects its
sign as well. MAGIX midi studio generation 6 automati-
cally positions the sign relative to the note: select one or
more notes and insert the desired note-head onto any one
of them.
Dim/Cresc, slurs, lines and arrows: These symbols can be
placed anywhere in the notation and are freely
editable. If you insert a slur or select it on the stave, little
“grab boxes” appear which allow you to change its shape.
To move the symbol as a whole, drag it using the spaces
between the “grab boxes”.
Key signatures: Keys can be entered where you like in a
stave: they then apply to all the song’s staves from that
point. If you have defined a Style for a transposing instru-
ment, its transposition relative to the new key is assured.
To enter a new key, choose the corresponding letter, and
the program will automatically convert that into the neces-
sary flats and sharps.
The one at the earliest time position is taken as the basic
key signature.
Existing key changes can be edited as follows: double-click
the signature to open the dialog box in which you can
choose a new key signature. You can select between major
or minor key signatures. Alternatively you can insert the
new key from the partbox by placing it on top of the old
one.
To delete a key signature, click it with the eraser tool.
Time signatures: MAGIX midi studio generation 6 distin-
guishes between the basic time signature and time signa-
ture changes. The basic signature is the one that comes
first. Time signature changes can be placed where you like
in a stave and have no effect on the playback. They apply to
all the staves in the song from that point and are automat-
ically shown in all the staves.
The time signature affects the following parts of MAGIX
midi studio generation 6:
– The display format in the Transport window
– Any position or length display
– The bar ruler
– The metronome click and count-in.
