Chapter 15 Score Editor 333
The Part Box contains a number of symbols that can be inserted into the score by
dragging them into position with the mouse.
The printed result always corresponds to what you see in the selected Score window
(Page Edit view must be activated). Layout work should be done in page and print
view, after all of the notes (and most of the symbols) have been recorded or inserted.
Staff Display…
…in Relation to the Position and Length of MIDI Regions in the Arrange
Window
MIDI Regions in the Arrange (see “MIDI Regions” on page 107) window represent parts
played by certain instruments (on tracks), and are displayed as staves in the Score
window. Depending on the selected Score Style (see “Basics” on page 380), an
instrument’s notation can be displayed in a staff system containing two or more staves
(such as a two staff system for a piano part).
Each of these staves or (Arrange window) tracks, can contain an (almost) unlimited
number of MIDI Regions. If the MIDI Regions on one track directly follow one another
in the Arrange window (with no gaps between them), they are displayed as one
continuous staff in the score, unless you have limited the view to a single MIDI Region,
by engaging content linked mode. In linear view, you will still see clefs, time and key
signatures at the beginning of each MIDI Region, but these disappear as soon as you
change to Page Edit view.
The Display Parameters (see “The Display Parameter Box” on page 374) for each of these
MIDI Regions can be set independently. This allows you to influence the visual display
of (the notation contained in) MIDI Regions very flexibly—especially the display of
rhythmic values. If necessary, MIDI Regions can be divided into several smaller Regions
with the scissors tool (available directly in the Score window), allowing you to assign
different display parameters to each resulting part.
Selected MIDI Regions are displayed with blue stave lines (unless this option is
deactivated in the Score Preferences (see “Score Preferences” on page 423), making it
very easy to identify the currently selected part.
Aliases in the Score Display
Alias (see “Aliases” on page 124) is a term used for MIDI Regions and Folders in the
Arrange window that are not independent. Alias objects “mirror” other MIDI Regions
and Folders at different positions and/or tracks. Wherever an alias exists, its parent
(original) MIDI Region or Folder is played back.
Aliases are also displayed in the Score Edit Window, and can be printed. The display of
Alias objects can be switched on or off via Layout > Global Format > Show Alias.
