All notes in the right voices.
The voicing is now correct, as you can tell from the stem
directions. However, there is still some work to do on the
notes graphical positions (see

on page 614) and the display of stems and beams for
some of the notes (see “Manual adjustment of beams” on

Merge All Staves
If you have already created some tracks which look and
play back as they should, and you want to combine these
into one track with polyphonic voices, there is a special
function on the Scores menu for this:
1. Open the tracks (up to four) in the Score Editor.
2. Pull down the Scores menu and select “Merge All
Staves” from the Functions submenu.
Now a new track is created and shown in the score. The track has poly-
phonic voices activated, and the four original tracks are assigned to one
voice each (voices 1, 2, 5 and 6 are used).

staff that become the first polyphonic voice in the merged
staff are copied. They have the same positions as the orig

inal symbols.

When you later play back the music, you need to mute
the four original tracks, or you get double notes.
