MIDI in Samplitude Music Studio 2013 203
Larger beam groups
Beam groups are partially compiled across beat subgroups. This can simplify the
legibility of the score.
Recognize grace notes
Note values which are much shorter than the display quantization value are
annotated as flam notes as long as a base note is present.
Notation symbols
Clef
There are four clefs available in Samplitude Music Studio 2013: violin, bass, tenor, and
alto clef. Samplitude Music Studio 2013 differentiates between base clef and clef
change. The base clef can be set up for every stave in "Score settings" (and applies to
all MIDI objects on the current track). A clef inserted from the tool bar, will be
interpreted as a clef change. Clef changes are possible any number of times in a song
and also within beats.
Insert: Activate the staff into which the clef should be inserted (by clicking on the staff
signature to the left).
Position the play cursor at the desired insert point and click on the desired clef in the
toolbar. Move the playback cursor to the desired insert position and click on the
desired clef in the toolbar. The clef will be inserted musically, not graphically, with a
clef change at position 10:01:000 (the beginning of the tenth beat) the clef symbol at
the end of the ninth beat will be displayed according to note set rules.
Clef changes can also be deleted by clicking on clef symbol with the eraser (or the
right mouse button).
Beat signature
The metric and beat signature symbols are created automatically from the tempo
markers of the VIP project.
Beat changes are possible at every full beat border. In addition, you might want to
create a beat count measure marker with the new signature (for example, 6/8) at the
desired position. If there are no beat count measure changes, then it's enough to set
the bar type of the piece (for example, 3/4) in the transport control.
