User manual

If the selected material already includes chords, notes are added above the top note in the chord,
and added below the bottom note in the chord. You can add notes to all notes in selected chords
by including all or to all at the end of your entry.
For microtonal transpositions, the rst number is the interval degree, and the second number is
the number of quarter tones. For example, if you have a C natural and you enter T 3 8 qt, it
changes to an E.

Inputting accidentals
You can input notes with accidentals, both during step input and by adding them to existing
notes.
NOTE
Accidentals that are part of the key signature are input automatically. For example, if you press F
in G major, an F♯ is input automatically. You would only need to specify an accidental if you want
to input an F♮, for example.
This also applies if you are using a MIDI keyboard, though you can respell notes if the accidentals
chosen automatically are not the ones that you expected.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
●
Start note input.
●
Select the existing notes to which you want to add accidentals.
2. Select the accidental you want to input in one of the following ways:
●
Press - for at.
●
Press = for sharp.
