Option: "Simplify note lengths (interpretation)" selected.
Additional option: "Automatic staccato articulations".
Hide note overlaps
Prevents the overlapping of sequential notes which, for example, arises as a result of playing legato:
Recognize triplets
Activate this option if triplets are present in the MIDI object.
Please note:
The display quantization value always has to be one step finer than the smallest discernible triplet value.
To recognize one eighth triplets, display quantization has to be set to at least one sixteenth (or to 1/64 for
1/32 triplets).
Strict measure/pulse division
There are no note or rest values longer than a beat subgroup (pulse). Longer notes are displayed as
multiple slurred notes. This can simplify the legibility of the score.
Larger beam groups
Beam groups are partially compiled across beat subgroups. This can simplify the legibility of the score.
Recognize grace notes
Note values which are much shorter than the display quantization value are annotated as flam notes as
long as a base note is present.
Notation symbols
Clef
There are four clefs available in Samplitude Music Studio 15: violin, bass, tenor, and alto clef.
Samplitude Music Studio 15 differentiates between base clef and clef change. The base clef can be set
up for every stave in "Score settings" (and applies to all MIDI
objects on the current track). A clef inserted from the tool bar, will be interpreted as a clef change. Clef
changes are possible any number of times in a song and also within beats.
Insert: Activate the staff into which the clef should be inserted (by clicking on the staff signature to the
left).
Position the play cursor at the desired insert point and click on the desired clef in the toolbar. Move the
playback cursor to the desired insert position and click on the desired clef in the toolbar. The clef will be
inserted musically, not graphically, with a clef change at position 10:01:000 (the beginning of the tenth
beat) the clef symbol at the end of the ninth beat will be displayed according to note set rules.
Clef changes can also be deleted by clicking on clef symbol with the eraser (or the right mouse button).
Beat signature
The metric and beat signature symbols are created automatically from the tempo markers of the VIP
project.
Beat changes are possible at every full beat border. In addition, you might want to create a beat count
measure marker with the new signature (for example, 6/8) at the desired position. If there are no beat
count measure changes, then it's enough to set the bar type of the piece (for example, 3/4) in the
transport control.
