Chapter 5: Option Panels Settings 29
Note:
This feature will affect the tempo of the music; a positive number will
increase the tempo, and a negative number will decrease the tempo.
ALWAYS SWITCH TO MIDI AT HALF SPEED
DEFAULT=ON
This feature, when enabled, will automatically set playback to be heard
through your computer's MIDI setup. This allows for 1/2 speed playback
without affecting the original pitch of the music. This is very useful for
learning pieces or sight-reading the music.
EXTEND DISPLAY OVER WINDOWS TASKBAR -
DEFAULT=ON
Enable this setting if you wish to use the program using the maximum screen
size available. This feature will allow the program cover the entire computer
screen including the Windows Taskbar. The taskbar can still be brought
forward and made visible by resizing the program window or by using the
CTRL-ESC hotkeys.
PIANO SHOWS ALL TRACKS EXCEPT DRUMS -
DEFAULT=ON
This setting instructs the program to display all the notes contained in the
MIDI tracks on the on-screen piano keyboard at once (notes show up on the
keys as blue or red dots.) Drums are excluded since this type of MIDI data
does not translate to piano keyboard notes.
SOLO STRENGTH
This setting affects the SOLO button feature of the program. When set to 100,
the SOLO feature will mute all other tracks and allow playback of only one
track or part at a time. When set to another number (i.e. 80) the SOLO
feature, when enabled, will allow for playback of all tracks/parts at a
significantly reduced volume level. This feature is useful for focussing on a
single part for practice, etc. while still being able to hear the rest of the parts
playing in the background.
RANDOM PLAYBACK (PLAY ALL)- DEFAULT=OFF
This feature is used in conjunction with the PLAY ALL or PLAY
FAVORITES feature. When enabled, it will allow for jukebox playback of
"all songs" or the "favorites" in a random fashion, instead of sequentially.
