Standard Notation Window
The Standard Notation window displays the notation for any individual track, and allows for the entry of chords and
lyrics. Features include:
- Notation display for the Bass, Drums, Guitar, Piano, Strings, Melody, or Soloist track.
- As the notation plays, the notes that are sounding are highlighted in red. This helps with sight reading or
following the music.
- You can set the notation to scroll either 1 or 2 bars ahead of the music without interfering with your view of the
current notation.
- Handles Jazz eighth notes and triplet figures correctly.
- Automatic options such as auto durations, clean notation, mono display, minimize
rests, hard rests, and engraver spacing produce very musical and readable notation.
- Beamed notes are automatically given slanted beams.
- Groups of 5 notes will automatically display as groups of 3+2 or 2+3, and can be set
this way manually as well. If you'd prefer to see them as a group of 5 notes, you can
right mouse click on the timeline, and set the resolution to 5 for the beat.
