Staff
Pane
Layout
The Staff pane can display up to 24 staves of standard and percussion
notation. When you open the Staff pane, Pro Audio automatically picks a
clef for each trackÑbass or trebleÑby looking at the range of pitches in
the track. If a track has notes that fall into both clefs, or no notes at all,
Pro Audio automatically splits the track into two staves, treble and bass.
You can change the assignment of clefs with the Staff View Layout dialog
box.
When you split a track into treble and bass staves, you must select a
split point. Notes at or above the split are placed into a treble staff, notes
below the split are placed into a bass staff.
A wide variety of editing options for notes, layout, and MIDI effects are
available from the Staff Pane Right-Click menu.
Percussion settings are discussed in the section ÒWorking with
PercussionÓ on page 8-35
