Edit voice parameters for the selected staff style
In the Voice section of the Staff Style window, do any of the following:
Change how rests are displayed: Choose a value from the Rest pop-up menu. Automatic
display of rests can be turned off (by choosing Hide), or set to display beat slashes instead
of rests (by choosing Slash). This is useful for rhythm section parts, and improvised solos.
In this situation, the number of slashes per bar is determined by the nominator in the time
signature (4 slashes in 4/4-time, 6 slashes in 6/8-time, and so on). Inserted notes and
symbols are still displayed, but automatic rests are shown only if shorter than one beat.
You can insert user rests manually, to replace individual beat slashes, if needed.
Set the stem direction: Choose a value from the Stem pop-up menu. The default setting is
Auto. Up or Down forces all stems, regardless of pitch, in the corresponding direction. Hide
makes all stems (and beams and flags) invisible.
Set the stem position: Choose a value from the Stem Pos. pop-up menu.
Set the vertical direction for ties: Choose a value from the Tie pop-up menu. The default
setting is Auto. Up or Down forces all ties in the corresponding direction.
Set the direction for tuplet brackets and numbers: Choose a value from the Tuplet pop-up
menu. The default setting is Auto. Up or Down forces all N-tuplet brackets and numbers
in the corresponding direction. Hide prevents the automatic display of triplet brackets
and numbers. In this situation, the numbers are still displayed in brackets on the screen,
to allow edits to these triplets. These bracketed numbers do not appear, however, on the
printout.
If you set this parameter to Hide, you can still make particular triplets visible:double-click
the bracketed number (3) to open a tuplet dialog. If you close this dialog by clicking OK,
you convert the automatically displayed triplet to a forced triplet, which is displayed in
accordance with the parameters set in the dialog.
Set the appearance of beams: Choose a value from the Beam pop-up menu. The default
Slant setting allows slanted beams. Horiz. only allows horizontal beams. Vocal prevents the
display of beams, as is typical in classical vocal parts, where notes are only displayed with
flags.
Set the color for notes: Choose a value from the Color pop-up palette. The color options
are Black (“---”), Pitch, Velocity, and the 16 colors of the Color palette. (See Colors
settings in Logic Pro.)
These settings only affect regions if the View > Colors > Normal item is chosen in the
Score Editor (the default setting).
Set the appearance of note heads: Choose a value from the Head pop-up menu. You can
display note heads as normal, show note names or finger names, or hide the note heads
completely.
The Stem Pos. and Color parameters are available when Additional Score Options is
selected in the Advanced preferences pane.
