Chapter 13: More Notation improvements
The notation symbols enhancements are described elsewhere.
There’s a 3-state button to easily change from Standard / Editable / Note Roll notation modes
without toggling. The currently selected mode is highlighted with a red box around it.
Standard Notation Mode
Editable Notation Mode and
Staff Roll Mode
These can also be accessed from the right mouse menu on the Notation window.
There’s a selectable width for bar lines, and ties. User can put a % setting in the notation options to affect the bar
width.
Access these settings from the Other Notation Options dialog.
For example, if you set the Bar Line width to 200%, the bar lines will be twice as wide, and easier to see. This
affects display and printout.
There are spin buttons in note attributes window. Holding the spin increments continuously, and Shift-
clicking (or right-clicking) increments by a higher amount.
Shift-clicking on the spin buttons changes:
- the pitch of a note by an octave instead of a semitone.
- The velocity, duration or time stamp by 5 instead of 1.
For example, to change the octave of a note, Shift-click (or right-click) on the spin arrows.
There’s a new option for a custom height for an individual chord symbol.
To adjust the height of a certain chord, right-click on the Notation window – Editable mode, and select “Chord
height adjustment.” Then enter an offset for chord height.
