The EDITOR module provides all the facilities of a wordprocessor; writing,
displaying and editing music rather than words. The EDITOR can of course
play the tunes as well! Tunes may be entered directly on the staves, played
and edited using the very comprehensive facilities available within the
EDITOR. The EDITOR also provides the unique function of displaying and
editing tunes entered via the KEYBOARD and MIDI modules. There is even
a command for ‘tidying up’ the results of your accomplishments with a
keyboard! The EDITOR also provides the finished files for the PRINTER
module and can also create tunes and backing tracks for both the SYN-
THESISER and MIDI modules.
EDITOR
The EDITOR displays notes within the selected four octave range on treble
and bass staves together with the appropriate key and time signatures. One
of the three voices may be displayed, scrolled through (with or without
playing) or edited at any time. You may flip instantaneously between voices
at exactly the same point in a tune and play selected voices together from
any note. The barmeter device shows you exactly where you are in a tune.
Music can be transposed instantly into any available key with the insertion
of the appropriate accidentals. Music can be entered in practically any time
signature with the facility for automatically entering barlines and ties where
necessary. Most common musical notation is catered for including triplets,
ties and repeats. The versatile loop sections may be used and edited in this
module.
