346 Chapter 15 Score Editor
You can move any note, and most symbols, to any desired position, by editing its
numeric bar position in the Event List, or the Event Float Window (see “Event Float
Window” on page 310). As an example, if you want to insert a half note on “two” in 4/4
time, place it on “one” or “three”, and change the position to “two” in the Event Float.
Simultaneous Input of Objects Into Several Regions
If you hold down Shift while inserting an object from the Part box, the object is
inserted at the same position into all currently selected Regions. The help tag will
display Insert Multi during this process. This technique allows you to insert notes,
symbols, and even text elements into several Regions at once. (Text elements will not
appear until you have finished the text input procedure).
You may make the multiple MIDI Region selection in either the Arrange or the Score
window. Shift-click all desired Regions/staves, or use the rubber band selection
method. You don’t need to select events in the Score window—just drag the cursor
vertically across the staves that you want to select.
Following selection, the top line of the Display Parameter box will indicate the number
of staves (Regions) that have been chosen.
Key changes, signature changes, and global signs are automatically inserted into all
staves of a song, and cannot be inserted into individual, selected staves.
Exact Graphic Position of Symbols
When inserting a symbol that isn’t automatically attached to a note, you should pay
attention to the following details:
All symbols are inserted at the bar position indicated in the Help Tag, when you release
the mouse button. This position corresponds to the symbol’s Event List line. Apart from
the bar position, further parameters that affect the graphic offset (from the inserted bar
position) are available.
These are shown, and can be edited, in the Event Parameter box (vert. pos, hor. pos). The
measurement unit of these two parameters is one sixteenth of the distance between
two lines in a staff. These distances are scaled accordingly when the Size of the staff
(defined in the selected Score Style) is changed.
