Inputting notes and notations onto multiple staves
You can input notes and notations onto multiple staves simultaneously, including automatically
exploding the notes in chords that you play on a MIDI keyboard onto the appropriate staves. For
example, if you want to input notes onto both piano staves or input the same dynamics for
multiple instruments.
Inputting notes and notations onto multiple staves is most useful for multiple adjacent pitched
instruments whose music is only a single voice.
PREREQUISITE
If you want to explode individual notes in chords onto multiple staves during note input, you
have connected a MIDI keyboard. You can only input the different notes in chords onto separate
staves when using a MIDI keyboard.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select an item at the rhythmic position where you want to input notes/
notations onto multiple staves.

●
To extend to the staff above, press Shift-Up Arrow .
●

NOTE
You must input notes using a computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard. If you use the mouse,
notes are only input on the staff you click. Similarly, you must use the corresponding
popover to input notations on multiple staves. When inputting notations using the
corresponding panel, they are only input on the top staff.
