Choosing the command Melody- Eliminate Note Overlap will cut the duration
of the G note to a little less than 1 beat in duration, so there is no note overlap.
Choosing the next option on the menu will preserve double stops, so that notes
that start at near the same time (as in a chord or "double stops") are not
considered to be overlapping, and therefore not truncated.
Omit Lead-In if Intro is present. If a song has an intro, its usually not necessary
to play the 2 bar lead-in count. There's a new option to always OMIT the lead-in
if an intro is present.
This option is set on the Options Prefs
Dialog. Normally if there is an intro to the song, you don't need a count-in.
"K"- Quick-Copy-Option.
By simply typing K at a bar (followed by ENTER
key), you can instantly copy the last 8 bars to the current position. By adding
additional keys in the K command, you can customize this (e.g. Typing K12,3
would copy from bar 3 for 12 bars to current position. The current position is
advanced to the bar beyond the copy. This speeds up song entry!
For example, if you're entering a song that has a repeating section of chords for
8 bars. Type in the first 8 bars of chords, and then move to bar 9, and then type:
k <ENTER>
The last 8 bars will be copied to bar 9-16, and the cursor will be moved to bar
17, so you're ready to continue with the tune. If you get to bar 25, and would like
the chords from 1-8 to be copied to 25-32, type k,1 and this will copy 8 bars
from bar 1 to bar 25.
The chords always get copied. The Melody, Soloist and Lyrics also get copied if
these items are set in the 'Edit – Copy from to …' dialog.
