|
Adding notes is done by selecting a type from the toolbar, and then
clicking on the appropriate line in the staff. After a staff is full, a new staff is made automatically. Measures are created automatically for the track. Chords does not currently correct the beat count for each measure. | |
| Changing types | |
|
Types can be changed by selecting a note, and clicking the type you want to make it.
Sharps,flats can be done in the same way. | |
| Editing notes | |
|
Notes can be inserted in between two consecutive notes on the staff.
Notes can be selected by dragging, and then deleted with the delete key. Hold down 'ctrl' to avoid inserting a note by accident. | |
| Moving Notes | |
|
Move groups of notes by selecting a group of notes, copying or cutting, and then
pressing Ctrl-V when the note insert marker is at the position you want to insert. The insert marker is the first position the notes are inserted, notes are then added left to right. Each note will move to the next position in the track. | |
| Note properties | |
|
Selected notes can be altered with the up and down key to change the pitch. Setting properties from the left window will automatically change all selected notes. | |
