348 Chapter 15 Score Editor
Hyper Draw can only be activated in Linear view, and when a single MIDI Region is
displayed. If you switch to another mode (Page Edit view, or full score), the Hyper Draw
area disappears. The view settings are stored, however, so when you return to single
MIDI Region and Linear view, the previous Hyper Draw setting is recalled.
The Hyper Draw display is horizontally scaled, in relation to the score display above it.
Its height can be changed, by dragging the horizontal borderline with the mouse. A
corresponding value scale is displayed in the instrument name column if View >
Instrument Names is activated. As in the Arrange window, you may select and/or
change the event type and MIDI channel displayed in the Hyper Draw area, via the View
> Hyper Draw menu option.
Hint: Set Hyper Draw to Note Velocity to graphically display and edit velocities.
The Part Box
The objects available in the Part box (notes, symbols, text objects) are organized in
groups. The top section contains small squares, with each representing a group. All
groups (with all available symbols) are shown in a panel below. The arrangement of
groups can change. If you click on one of the squares in the top section, the
corresponding group moves to the top of the panel below, for easy access to its
symbols.
Any symbol can be selected and inserted, directly from the group panel, at any time.
The function described above makes it easier to work with the Part box, especially on
smaller screens, or when using small Score windows.
Selecting and Inserting Part Box Objects
There are various ways to select and insert objects:
m Selecting an object with the mouse from one of the object groups, and dragging it to
the desired position in the Score display. If a particular object group isn’t visible, click
on its symbol in the top section of the Part box. This places the selected object group
at the top of the group panel.
