Beat number
Also at the beginning of each measure in
Figure 43-42, two integers are displayed. The
number above the horizontal line is the beat
number from the beginning of the sequence. The
number below the horizontal line is the measure
number from the beginning of the sequence.
Beat marks
Each measure in Figure 43-42 shows a small “x”
where the beats lie in the measure. If a cue point lies
within the measure, then the nearest beat to the cue
point is marked with a bold “X”.
Cue points
The QuickScribe Film Cues view uses markers as
cue points, as demonstrated below in Figure 43-42
by the words WS Swamp and Arial Swamp. To
create or edit markers, choose Project menu>
Markers. For complete details, see chapter 64,
“Markers” (page 747). This section covers the
specifics of marker operation with regard to the
Film Cues View.
Markers appear in the same measure as their
closest beat. By default, the Film Cues View does
not display any marker whose weight is set to None
in the Markers window. To change which types of
markers appear on the QuickScribe page, use the
Marker Options window. If the weight of a marker
is set to Ve r y Im po r t a nt , it appears in red. Use the
Ve r y Imp or t ant weight to indicate markers that are
key hits.
Three different QuickScribe views
Digital Performer maintains a separate set of score
options for three separate QuickScribe views:
Film Cues Only view
If you use the track selector in the QuickScribe
window to turn off all tracks, and if you have
selected Show Film Cues in the QuickScribe mini-
menu, then you will see a trackless Film Cues Only
view shown below in Figure 43-43.
In the Film Cues only view, you can use the popup
meter change and popup tempo change features
described in “Popup Meter Changes, key changes
and tempos” on page 479, but not the popup key
change feature. Key signatures do not display in
this view.
