The MIDI editors
The Score Editor – Overview
The Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score.
The toolbar
The Score Editor toolbar is similar to the toolbar in the Key
Editor, but tailored to working with scores:
• There are an Insert Note tool and an Insert Text tool in-
stead of the Pencil, Trim, Mute, Zoom, and Line tools.
• Parts on different tracks are shown on different staves.
Therefore there are no part controls.
• There are only two Snap types: Grid and Grid Relative.
• The Independent Track Loop, Auto-Select Controllers,
and Indicate Transpositions buttons, as well as the Nudge
palette and Event Colors pop-up menu are not available.
The status line
The status line features the Mouse Time Position, the
Mouse Note Position, and the Current Chord displays.
Unlike in the Key Editor, you need to select the notes mak
-
ing up the chord to make it appear in the Current Chord
Display.
• To show or hide the status line, click the “Set up Win-
dow Layout” button and activate or deactivate the “Status
Line” option.
The info line
The info line shows information about selected MIDI
notes, just like in the Key and Drum Editors. You can edit
all values on the info line using regular value editing (see
“Editing on the info line” on page 264 for details).
• To configure which items are available on the info line,
right-click the info line and select “Setup…” from the con-
text menu.
In the dialog that appears you can configure where the separate items
will be placed and save/recall different setup configurations.
• To show or hide the info line, click the “Set up Window
Layout” button and activate or deactivate the “Info Line”
option.
The extended toolbar
• To show or hide the extended toolbar, click the “Set up
Window Layout” button and activate or deactivate the
Tools option.
Note value buttons
Click one of these to select a note value for input. The “T”
and “.” options are for triplet and dotted note values. You
can also press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click one of the note
value buttons – this will resize all selected notes to the
note value you choose.
