Swap sound sets
swaps the position of sound sets 1 and 2. The sound set
names will also be swapped. These are displayed in Info. All envelope
numbers in the tune now refer to the other available envelope set. The filter
will also change. This might change the sound of your tune somewhat! The
new set will be saved with your music file. You can, of course, swap the
sound sets again and return to using the original sound set 1.
The flipover point for the note stem may be changed at any time by
accessing
Set note stem
. A different flipover point may be set in each voice
- these are stored with the music file. This enables the user to write bass
parts correctly on the bass stave with the note tails pointing in the conven-
tional direction. To set the flipover point set a note (blue or black) to the
required pitch and access
Set note stem
. Any new notes entered will flip at
the new point. All other notes remain unaffected. You can override the flip
point by manually flipping the tails using
/
.
Notes near the top and bottom of the staves may only have their stems
pointing down or up respectively. You can not alter these.
Check barlines
will check that barlines are in the correct positions according
to the time signature. This command only operates on notes between
markers although it will actually start checking from the first barline it finds
on searching backwards from the marker. If a bar is not the correct duration
an error pop up ‘
Bar too long
’ or ‘
Bar too short
’ will be displayed where the
error occurred. The markers are not moved.
Adjust barlines
will attempt to insert or correct barlines according to the
current time signature. Again this command operates between markers; the
first marker being set at the start of the voice (or loop section) or the 1st note
of a bar. A barline will be inserted to the left of the 1st marker if one does
not exist already. Repeat symbols, first and second time bar symbols and
loop section markers are never moved.
In attempting to fit barlines, notes may be split and tied across barlines,
non-essential ties are removed and the durations of tied note pairs adjusted
where necessary. If you do not want ties to be automatically entered, use
