R
to turn the three notes back to a minim again. Once entered, the
pitch, envelope (and volume) of any of the notes may be changed. You
cannot change the duration! You can not delete any single note in a triplet…
the entire triplet will disappear! Barlines cannot be inserted within a triplet.
Barlines and repeats
Pressing
4
will enter a barline to the right of the current note/rest. Barlines
may be entered at any point in a voice except between triplets and in front
of the very first note. In fact, there are no restrictions on the use of barlines
in the EDITOR. Other barline symbols are entered in the same way and
although there are no restrictions on their use, unusual positioning of repeat
symbols will produce unusual results! Barlines can be removed by pressing
0
.
Barlines are entered automatically at the end of a voice if the autobar facility
is on. This is set in Values. If the autotie facility is also on, then the EDITOR
will usually be able to make each bar the correct length according to the
time signature. This is often accomplished by splitting the entered note into
two parts and tying across the barline. With autobar on, the EDITOR will not
automatically enter a bar of incorrect length at the end of a voice: Another
method of checking and automatically entering barlines is via Commands:
Adjust barlines
.
After complete bars have been entered, changing the duration of a note
within a bar will make the bar length incorrect according to the time
signature. The EDITOR does not check for this directly since you may
actually want to insert a 3 beat bar in a nominally 4/4 time signature.
However, you can easily check each voice for correct barlengths using
Commands:
Check barlines
. When notes are deleted the attached barline
or repeat symbol is also deleted. The start of repeat symbol (key
5
) is
implied at the beginning of each voice and by inserting an end of repeat
symbol (key
6
) further on in the voice the tune will repeat from the beginning
again.
