shows a list of available sta styles, with a visual representation of the selected sta style. The
lower part shows the stas that are used for the selected sta style, with parameters for each
sta. The voices used for each sta are listed to the right.

The main elements of the window include:
Menu bar: Contains the local New, Edit, and View menus, and the View buttons to hide or show
dierent parts of the Sta Style window.
Style overview: Shows a list of available sta styles with the type, number of voices, and other
parameters for each listed sta style, and a graphical representation of the selected style that
updates to reect your edits to the style.
Sta parameters: Shows the parameters for each sta in the selected sta style. Parameters for
each sta are shown as one row.
Voice parameters: Shows the parameters for independent voices. Parameters for each voice are
shown as one row. Each voice can be displayed as a rhythmically independent, polyphonic
passage in the music. A voice can consist of as many simultaneous notes (chords) as needed.
Assign parameters: Shows the parameters for assigning notes to dierent voices. Every sta
can contain up to 16 independent voices, but each voice can be displayed on only one sta.
(Consequently, a sta style must contain at least as many voices as stas.)
You can show the entire Sta Style window, or only part of the window, using the View buttons
on the right side of the menu bar.
