Polyphonic voicing
Checking which voice a note belongs to
Checking which voice a note belongs to
When you select one single note, the corresponding voice button on the extended
toolbar is selected. This allows you to quickly find out which voice a certain note is in
(after you have used the Move To Voice function, for example).
• When you step through the notes using the arrow keys, you only step through the
notes in one voice at a time.
This can be used as a quick way to check which notes belong to the same voice as
some other note.
Moving notes between voices
Manually
To manually move notes to another voice, proceed as follows:
1. Select the note(s) you want to move to a particular voice.
2. Right-click on one of the notes and select “Move to Voice” from the context menu.
3. On the submenu, select the voice to which you want to move the notes.
Only the activated voices are available on the menu.
• You can also press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click a voice Insert button on the
extended toolbar to move the selected notes to the corresponding voice.
You can also assign key commands for this in the Score Functions category of the
Key Commands dialog on the File menu.
