Page Edit
You may have come across the “Page Edit” concept in
word processing or DTP programs. MAGIX midi studio
generation 6 calculates the contents of a whole side of pa-
per and shows these on the screen as they will appear in
print using the WYSIWYG principle.
Page Edit and the normal display: You can swap be-
tween the two by clicking the “Page Edit” button that’s
next to the MIDI Out button.
Page Edit is not just for manipulating the score prior to
printing (e.g. titles, text), but can be used for editing a long
passage of music. Indeed, all the editing commands we’ve
covered so far apply in Page Edit mode, too. The “word-
wrapping” (or more correctly “stave-wrapping”) means
you can see appreciably more bars on the screen at the
same time.
Scrolling the Page Edit display: The vertical scroll bar
is used to “turn the pages” of the Page Edit display. The
page number is shown at the top left of the score.
Page Edit and printers: You must install your printer
and have it correctly set up before you start manipulating
the layout of your final score. What you see in the Page
Edit display depends on the printer installed and its paper
format and resolution settings. The advantage is that Page
Edit is then exactly able to show how the printout will look.
