Shuffle
If this option is activated and you have played a shuffle 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 field 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. However, you must first
set the note value (length) and spacing.
PROCEDURE
1. Set the note value in one of the following ways:
•
Click the note symbols on the extended toolbar.
•
Select an option from the Length Quantize pop-up menu on the toolbar.
2. Select the Insert Note tool.
If you selected the note value via the extended toolbar buttons, the Insert Note tool is
automatically selected.
3. Open the Quantize Presets pop-up menu on the toolbar and select a quantize value.
4. Move the mouse over the staff to find the correct position.
The position is displayed on the Mouse Time Position display on the status line. The
position snaps to the grid that is defined by the quantize value.
5. Move the mouse vertically to find the correct pitch.
The Mouse Note Position display on the status line shows the pitch at the pointer
position.
6. Click in the staff.
RESULT
The note appears in the score. The notes get the insert velocity value that is set in the Insert
Velocity field on the toolbar.
