The MIDI editors
Score Editor operations
Enharmonic Shift
The buttons to the right on the extended toolbar allow you to shift the display of
selected notes so that for example an F# (F sharp) is instead shown as a Gb (G flat)
and vice versa:
1. Select the note(s) you want to affect.
2. Click on one of the buttons to display the selected note(s) a certain way.
The “off” button resets the notes to original display. The other five options are double flats,
flats, No (no accidentals shown, regardless of pitch), sharps and double sharps.
Flip Stems
Normally the direction of the note stems is automatically selected according to the
note pitches, but you can change this manually if you like:
1. Select the notes for which you want to change (flip) the stem direction.
2. Open the MIDI menu and select Flip Stems from the Scores submenu.
Working with text
You can use the Text tool to add comments, articulation or instrumentation advice and
other text strings anywhere in the score:
Adding a text string
1. On the toolbar, select the Text tool.
2. Click anywhere in the score.
A blinking cursor appears, indicating that you can enter text.
3. Enter the text and press [Return].
Editing text
To edit an already added text string, double-click it with the Object Selection tool.
This opens the text for editing, and you can use the arrow keys to move the cursor,
delete characters with the [Delete] or [Backspace] keys and type new text as usual.
Finish by pressing [Return].
• To delete a text block, select it with the Object Selection tool and press
[Backspace] or [Delete].
• You can move or duplicate text blocks by dragging (or [Alt]/[Option]-dragging)
them, just as with notes.
