Chapter 9: Recording Tracks 136
Humanize: The velocities, durations (legato), and timing of the notes are
humanized. The original velocities etc. of the notes are ignored. This is useful
when the melody has been entered in a stiff manner.
Octave: The octave of the Melody is changed to the best octave for the current
Melody instrument. For example, if the instrument were a Piccolo the octave
would be raised to the best range for a piccolo. There is an additional setting for
the octave in the “More” settings dialog.
Anticipation: An anticipated note is played early, or “ahead of the beat,” as in
this example.
Unembellished notes
Embellishment with anticipations on beat 1 and 3
Less Anticipation: This is the opposite of anticipation. This finds notes that
are anticipated, and “embellishes” them by playing them later (on the beat).
Grace Notes: The grace notes are brief notes played just before, and a semi-tone
below the original note. The grace notes intentionally don't show on the
notation, so that it will remain easily readable. They can be heard.
Doubled Notes: Melody notes are doubled with the same pitch.
Unembellished …
“C” quarter note is
doubled to 2 eighth
notes.
