Notation Window Options
Press the [Opt.] button in a notation window to bring up the Notation Window Options dialog box:
Track Type
Normally you'd leave the track type set to Single Channel, but you can also set it to Multi-Channel, Guitar, or Piano.
Multi (16)
-Channel:
All MIDI channel assignments are preserved and output on playback. This would be useful for
importing an entire MIDI file, and playing it from the Melody channel using a silent style.
Guitar: MIDI channels 11 to 16 are assigned to the guitar strings 1 to 6. Correct guitar tablature replaces the
bass clef, the notation will be up an octave, and guitar channel assignments are saved with MIDI files.
Piano: In this mode, channels 8 and 9 are treated as the left and right hand of a piano part.
Bars/Screen
This option lets you to choose the number of bars per line for both the on-screen notation display and printing.
New Line each
Use this setting to automatically start a new line on each chorus, on each chorus and the intro, or on each part
marker. It applies to the Lead Sheet notation screen and to printing.
Triplet Resolution (Swing)
Band-in-a-Box automatically sets the resolution whenever a style is loaded. When a style has a triplet feel (such as
Jazz Swing or a Shuffle style), Band-in-a-Box selects Triplet Resolution. This ensures that Jazz eighth notes (swing
triplets) are handled correctly. When a style with a straight feel (Pop, Latin) loads the Triplet Resolution setting is
automatically turned off.
