Parameters

Parameter box, Part box, and so on).
Instrument Names
Hides/Shows the names of (used) track instruments, to the left of the score display.
Page Rulers
Hides/Shows rulers in Page Edit view. Measurement units can be centimeters or inches.
White Background

Hyper Draw
If you activate one of these options, a Hyper Draw area appears at the bottom of the
main working area, allowing you to easily insert control data. You can change the area
height, by dragging the borderline vertically with the mouse. Note that Score Hyper
Draw is only available when single MIDI Regions are displayed in linear view.
Other Options
Adjusting the Borders Between the Different Areas
You can move the left and upper borders of the main working area by positioning the
cursor on one of the border lines, and click-dragging it. During these operations, the
cursor features two or four arrows. There are three possibilities:
• On the left side, you can alter the width of the columns containing the parameters,
(mainly changing the appearance of the Part box Groups), and the instrument
names.
• Along the upper border, you can create vertical headroom. This is useful for working
on parts containing very high notes, or symbols above high notes (such as slurs),
which might not be otherwise visible, and therefore can’t be edited.
• In the upper left corner of the main working area, you can change the width of the
parameter column, and the height of the bar or page ruler. If View > Instrument
Names is activated, the width of the instrument name column can also be changed.
Parameter Boxes
Both the Display and Event Parameter boxes can be reduced/restored, by clicking on
the triangle in the upper left corner of each parameter box.
The Main Working Area
The appearance of the score display depends on:
• The settings of the Link and Catch buttons (see “Display Levels” on page 401)
• The selected Instrument Set (see “Instrument Sets and Score Display Levels” on
page 401)
• Page or Linear view (View menu, and/or button to the right of the MIDI Out button)
• Zoom level
