Name Box/Style Selector
The field below the Toolbox shows the name of the currently selected Score Style.
Click-hold it to open a pull-down menu that lists all Styles available in the current song.
Switch to another Score Style by selecting the desired entry, and releasing the mouse
button.
Parameter Groups
The Score Style Parameters are grouped horizontally in three main sections (top
line): Staff, Voice, and Assign.
Staff:
The Parameters for staves. Each line below the word Staff represents one staff in the
score display.
Voice:
The Parameters for independent Voices. Each line below the word Voice represents one
independent voice. The term “Voice” only relates to the simultaneous display of
rhythmically independent, polyphonic passages in the music, not the number of notes
that can be displayed simultaneously. One Voice can consist of as many simultaneous
notes (chords) as desired. Only notes which should be displayed as rhythmically
independent from the other notes in the same staff need to be assigned to separate
Voices.
Assign:
The parameters for the assignment of notes to the different Voices. For details, see
below.
Every Staff can contain several independent Voices (up to 16), but one Voice can not be
displayed across different staves. Therefore, a Score Style must contain at least as many
Voices as Staves.
List View
The Score Style window features the single Score Style view shown above, and a list
view option. The list view is mainly intended for copying Score Styles between songs
(see below), or for deleting styles.
Double-click in the empty space below the parameters to switch to the list view.
Another double-click on one of the Score Styles in the list switches to the display of
that particular Style. Another way to change between single and list views is by clicking
on the small button to the left of the menu line.
