Interpretation Options
In this section, you can make additional settings on how the score is displayed.
Clean Lengths
If this option is activated, notes that are considered to be chords are shown with
identical lengths. Longer notes are displayed shorter than they are. Notes with very
short overlaps are also cut off. This is similar to the No Overlap option, but with a
more subtle effect.
No Overlap
If this option is activated, one note is never shown as overlapping another, lengthwise.
This allows long and short notes that start at the same point to be displayed without
ties. The long notes are cut off in the display. This makes the music more legible.

Syncopation
If this option is activated, syncopated notes are shown in a more legible way.

Shue
If this option is activated and you have played a shue beat, the beat is displayed as
straight notes, not as triplets. This is very common in jazz notation.
Quantize Value
When you move the mouse pointer over the score, the Mouse Time Position eld on the status
line tracks your movement and shows the current position in bars, beats, 16th notes, and ticks.
The quantize value controls the positioning on screen. If you set the value to 1/8, you can only
insert and move notes to 8th note positions, at quarter notes, at half bars, or at bar positions.
It is recommended to set the quantize value to the smallest note value in the piece. This does not
stop you from inputting notes at coarser positions. However, if you set the quantize value to a
too small note value, it is easier to make mistakes.
With the quantize value set to 1/8, you can only input notes at 8th note positions.
You can also use the Quantize Panel to create other quantize values, irregular grids, etc.
Creating Notes
In the score display, the Insert Note tool allows you to create notes.
PREREQUISITE
