Score Display
The main area of the Score Editor window shows the notes in the edited parts on one or several
staves. Parts on different tracks are shown on different staves.
● If you are editing one or several parts on the same track, as much of them as possible is
shown on several staves, comparable with a score on paper.
● If you are editing parts on several tracks, they are put on a grand staff. A grand staff is
composed of multiple staves that are tied together by bar lines.
● The number of bars that are displayed on the screen depends on the size of the window
and the number of notes in each bar.
● The end of the last part is indicated by a double bar line.
All MIDI input is directed to one of the tracks, which is called the active staff. The active staff is
indicated by a rectangle to the left of the clef symbol.
● To change the active staff, click on the staff that you want to activate.

Improving the Score Display
When you open the Score Editor for a part that was recorded in real time, the score may not look
as legible as you expect. The Score Editor can ignore the minor time variances in performance
