Not every stave editing application processes all MusicXML elements correctly, so it may
become necessary to manually correct drawn-through bar lines later, or to regroup curly
braces for "parts".
If you create your composition in Samplitude, you should set score settings here in order to
be able to edit and navigate more easily through the score view. You can then continue
editing the score in order to optimize the layout and notation in the familiar environment of
your stave editing application.
Converting to MusicXML format has the advantage (unlike standard MIDI file format) that
many manual settings and optimizations of the score (e.g. number of scores, key, voice
allocation, pitch, etc.) remain the same.
MIDI editor shortcut keys
Apart from few exceptions such as "Space" for stop and playback, the keyboard shortcuts
can be defined freely. Open the keyboard shortcut menu and mouse editor via the
"Shortcuts -> Define shortcuts" MIDI menu. For some basic functions such as scrolling and
zooming, all keyboard shortcuts from the VIP are applied. You can explicitly define
shortcuts for all commands that are available in the MIDI editor menu.
Note: The mouse wheel settings are also applied from the arranger, as is the switch for
temporary zoom mode (special) which is predefined with "Z".
