THE DIGITAL PERFORMER PROJECT
22
Loading a song automatically loads its component
sequences (and songs). For example, you choose to
load Song-1, which contains Seq-1, Seq-2, and
Song-2. Song 2 contains Seq-3 and Seq-4. When
you execute the Load command, all six Chunks
(two songs and four sequences) will be loaded in
and added to the Chunks list of the open project.
ADDING PROJECT NOTES
Choose Project menu> Project Notes to type in
notes about your project. This is a simple text
editor that allows you to store text within the
project itself.
PRINTING PROJECT WINDOWS
You can print the contents of some Digital
Performer windows. This includes list windows,
such as the Event List, Tracks, Markers, Chunks,
and Commands windows, and notation windows,
such as the QuickScribe Editor.
Printing the contents of a list window
To print the contents of the Track List, an Event
List, the Markers Window, the Chunks window, or
the Commands window:
1 Bring the window you want to print to the front
to make it the active window.
To do so, click its title bar or choose its name from
the Window menu.
2 Choose Page Setup from the File menu, make
any desired changes to the page settings, and click
OK to confirm the settings.
The options that appear in this dialog box depend
on the type of printer you are using. For example, if
you are printing on a laser printer, you can choose
an enlargement or reduction above or below 100%.
3 Choose Print from the File menu.
The standard print setup dialog box appears for
your printer.
4 Set up the printer options as needed, such as the
number of copies, and click OK.
The entire contents of the list is printed.
Printing notation
Printing notation in Digital Performer is easy.
Digital Performer transcribes unquantized or
quantized MIDI data in a readable fashion. You can
format the music on screen exactly as it will print,
including text, page margins, staff spacing,
measure spacing, and more.
To print notation:
1 Choose Page Setup from the File menu, choose
the desired page size, make any desired changes to
the page settings, and click OK to confirm the
settings.
The options that appear in this dialog box depend
on the type of printer you are using. For example, if
you are printing on a laser printer, you can choose
an enlargement or reduction above or below 100%.
2 Select the MIDI track (or tracks) that you would
like to print.
3 Open the QuickScribe Editor.
A window appears containing staves for the MIDI
track or tracks you have selected. This window
displays the music on a page exactly as it will print
out. For information about editing music and
formatting it in this window, see chapter
chapter 43, “QuickScribe Editor” (page 457).
4 Use the QuickScribe Editor mini-menu and
Page Setup commands to format the music on the
page as desired.
