Keep Take (yes/no) saves the take you just recorded. Remember that it’s easy to fix small glitches in the Editable
Notation window or in the Event List editor.
Take Again lets you quickly reject a take and start the recording again. Press the “A” key to do this with a
keystroke.
Cancel ends the recording session; nothing is saved. To start again press the [Rec.] button or the [R] key.
Copy 1st chorus to whole song
If you have recorded one chorus of the song, checking this at the end of the recording will copy the same recording
to all of the choruses.
Overdub Underlying melody
You have the option to merge the recording with the existing melody. If there is no underlying melody this option
will be grayed out.
Retain Melody past last recorded
You have the option to erase any melody after the last recorded melody note, or keep it. Use this feature when you
want to punch out at the end of a take.
Count-In and Metronome Options
To set these options, go to the Opt. | Preferences dialog and select the [Count-in/Met.] button.
Entering Notes Manually
You can enter melody notes directly to the track in the Notation window in either the Editable Notation Mode or the
Note roll Mode.
Enter the Editable Notation mode from the Standard Notation screen with a single mouse click on the [N]
button. In the Editable Notation mode you can enter, move, and edit notes and rests using standard mouse
techniques – point and click, drag and drop, and right click to open the Note Edit dialog box.
Once you have some melody entered, you can copy and paste chunks of it as
you would in a text document. To copy and paste notation, highlight an area of
notation by dragging the mouse over the region. Then select Edit | Copy.
Click on the place where you want to paste to (by clicking at the time line on
top of the notation window) and then choose Edit | Paste. You can specify a
precise paste location in the Paste Melody dialog.
