82 Introduction
SONAR basics
The Staff view displays the notes from one or more MIDI tracks using standard music notation,
similar to the way the notation would appear on a printed page. You can add, edit, or delete notes;
create percussion parts; add guitar chords and other notation markings; display guitar tablature;
display the Fretboard pane; and print whole scores or individual parts to share with other musicians.

The Loop Construction view allows you to create and edit Groove clips (SONAR loops that “know”
the tempo and key in which they were recorded), and export these clips as ACIDized files. For more
information, see “Loop Construction view” on page 2009.
