Optionally, all changes to settings, display options, key, and display quantization are always
transferred equally to all staves.
During multi-object editing across multiple tracks, the scores from the systems of each
individual track are compiled together. A partial system of a track can be composed of
multiple staves (e.g. 2 lines for a "grand staff" in piano notation). The system lines within a
track will be grouped with struck-through beat lines.
The staves of a track may be used as an instrument or instrument group within a score. For
this reason, consider early on how you would like to distribute multi-voiced pieces to
multiple MIDI tracks to obtain a sensible score display. The entire score may be obtained
by using the multi-object editing feature and showing all MIDI tracks in the score editor
simultaneously. A vocal extract may be produced by showing the track of the desired
instrument only or an instrument group in the score editor.
Display quantization
Using the display quantization ("Quant." column), you can set the rhythmic resolution of the
note display independent of the actual quantization. This enables you to display a freely
imported and unquantized track in sixteenth notes.
Set "Quant." to the lowest value in the sequence of the note value. For a sequence that
contains sixteenth notes as the lowest value, select the setting "16th", not "64th" notes. A
quantization display that is too fine may make the display illegible.
The display quantization does not have any influence on note playback, but rather adapts
the note display to a raster. The actual recording (the MIDI files) is not changed, unlike the
quantization function in the MIDI editor.
