Inputting pedal lines, retakes, and pedal level changes with the popover
You can input pedal lines using the playing techniques popover, both during step input and by
adding them to existing music. Because the pedal line extends automatically as you input notes
during step input, you can input retakes and pedal level changes when you reach the appropriate
rhythmic position.
TIP
You can also input retakes and pedal level changes at rhythmic positions before you input pedal
lines or notes. They are shown when the pedal line passes their rhythmic position.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
●
Start note input.
●
Select the notes to which you want the pedal line to apply.
2. Open the playing techniques popover in any of the following ways:
●

5. Optional: During step input, extend the pedal line by pressing Space to advance the caret.
The pedal line also extends automatically as you continue inputting notes.
6. Optional: During step input, input retakes or pedal level changes by opening the playing
techniques popover again when the caret is at the rhythmic position you want and enter
the appropriate short-hand for the retake or pedal level change you want into the
popover.
For example, enter ^ or retake for a retake.
7. Optional: During step input, stop the pedal line by opening the playing techniques
popover again and enter the appropriate short-hand into the popover.
For example, enter * to stop a sustain pedal line.
