Using the Score, you can play one or more tracks very easily, while viewing the rendered melodic.
The tracks can be played with one single voice, or up to 4 separates voices.
Within Musical display mode, the tracks can be spread over a four-layers, taking into account transposing instruments and their key.
The names of notes can also be displayed as an option.
Playing one single voice is easier, but you cannot separate the nuances between two tracks.
The interpretation on several voices is more difficult, but allows much nuances. It is also possible to assign one instrumentalist per voice.
Each voice has its own selector.
Selectors wich are not used are automatically used on the previous active voice. Example: if you play only one voice, it is possible to use the four selectors from the four voices.
To avoid "noise" (eg finger tapping two keys at the same time), which creates errors, there are two "protected modes" :
A Score contains Systems. The systems can be linked and repeated. This feature facilitates the management of verses and chorus.
A System has one and only one tonality, but can have multiple time signatures. Time signature can be not visible (Pickup notes, ...)
A System has a list of Events. Events can be simple notes or Appogiatura. Appogiatura are useful to simplify the reading for Musical notation.
Text linked to an Event has a specific syntax, to improve the musical information, and to make link with the Translator. One space must be inserted between each command :
Nuances in the event can modify the main Midi volume cursor of theUser mixer if the checkbox is set in user tab.
Chords or cell names can be sent to the Translator if the checkbox is set in user tab.
Other options with their help must be studied in the User tab, section Score/Display ans score/Playing.
You can create shortcuts to manage the Score. For Midi shotcuts, fill the User tab, section Score / Voices and Moves. For computer keyboard shortcuts, you must add keystrokes in the Hardware tab, section keyboard.
All commands are summarized in the menu Synthesys of Commands, in the Score window.
Example :
' . % 1 Sea % 2 Sky
Display a staccato and a respiration on the event. The lyric will be Sea on the first repetition of the System (ex. first verse), and Sky on the second repetition.
