Stave settings
All settings for the stave and display parameters/options can be accessed via this dialog page. Here you
can enter the clef.
Samplitude Music Studio 15 provides MIDI
files with up to 16 staves on one track. For each staff, the clef, display transposition (for instruments that
transpose, for example, a saxophone), and display quantization can be specified individually.
Furthermore, an instrument's prefix ("Name") can be set as well as the MIDI channel for automatic
stave/voice assignment.
Similarly, the split point serves automatic stave assignment: Notes above the split point are added to the
upper stave, while those under the split point are added to the stave beneath it (as long as the MIDI
channel matches).
The active staff is recognizable via the index marked in red. The list of 16 staves can be scrolled vertically
using the arrow buttons (up/down). In the lower range the display options of the active staff are shown.
Optionally, all changes to settings, display options, clef, and display quantization are always transferred
equally to all staves.
Note display: Interpretation options
None of the options have any influence on the MIDI
files or playback.
Simplify note lengths (interpretation)
Displays rests and slurred notes in such a way that the score is as legible as possible without influencing
playback.
Automatic staccato articulations
A staccato symbol is added to a note whose value is considerably longer than the "real MIDI note". This
is practical when working with simplified length display.
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.
