the printer as for the page mode, otherwise the printout may be scaled and the page ratio
changed.
The following items won't be printed; they are only visible on the monitor:
The lines which highlight the page borders on the monitor
Mouse pointer
The color display of the currently selected notes and playback areas.
When printing a file (e.g. as a PDF file with a special printer driver), please note that you
have to activate the option "Save fonts in document" in the printer driver so that the
notation symbols will be displayed correctly in the document.
Tips
In complex arrangements it's recommended to use two separate versions of a song for
sequencing and for note printout. This way you can change the MIDI events for the note
display any way you like without influencing its playback. You may have to increase or
decrease the length of a note in order to display the correct note value or the correct
pause. Furthermore, it can be advantageous to remove warblers, ghost notes, and other
playful effects in order to be able to print the musical idea in more simplified form. This
manipulation, however, does affect playback. If you work with separate versions for
sequencing and note printout, you are not forced into making any compromises.
Score music XML export
The score can also be exported as a MusicXML file and then edited further in notation
applications. Finale, Sibelius, Forte, plus many other MusicXML files can import music XML
files. Converters are also available for transforming MusicXMLs into other formats. You can
find out more at www.musicxml.org.
During the MusicXML export, all properties of the score (except for the page layout), like
staves, notes and pauses, bar groups, keys, polyphonic voices, lead signs, enharmonic
change, etc. are transferred. However, page layout, line breaks, and the distance between
systems are not transferred. These can also be a component of MusicXML, but since these
parameters in Samplitude can be only partially edited, they will be removed from MusicXML
export.
