Note Attributes
The Note Attributes (see “Note Attributes” on page 548) affect single notes or—when
assigning them to a group of notes—all selected notes at once. For each note, the
following parameters can be defined individually:
• Enharmonic changes.
• Settings for Interpretation and Syncopation, independent from the settings in the
Display Parameter box.
• Stem direction, tie direction, and beaming, independent from the settings in the
used Score Style.
• Display as an Independent Note, which excludes the note from the measure’s overall
rhythmic calculation.
• Horizontal graphic offset from the default position.
• Change of accidental distance.
• Change of note size, and form of the note head.
General Appearance
View Menu
Here you can activate and deactivate the following display options by selecting the
corresponding menu entries. Activation is indicated by a check mark:
Colors
The entries in this menu set the color mode for the active score window. These settings
here always have priority over all other color settings.
• Normal or Individual means that colors are assigned according to the color settings in
Score Styles and Note Attributes. As long as those haven’t been changed in new
songs, this will result in a regular black and white printout and black notes on yellow
background on the screen.
• Show Pitch applies colors according to the pitch of notes. The colors for that can be
edited in a special window that open via the menu Layout > Colors. There you can
also determine whether notes with accidentals will have the same color as without
accidentals, or if each note in the chromatic scale will have its own color.
• Show Velocity applies eight different colors according to MIDI velocity. Also these
colors can be edited in Layout > Colors.
• Show Voice Assignment assigns different colors to different Voices. This only makes
sense in Score Styles that contain more than one Voice. This mode employs the
colors of the user palette, which can also be found and edited in Layout > Colors.
• Force Black & White does exactly that. This mode is useful when color options have
been used in Score Styles or colors have been assigned to notes using Note
Attributes, but one wants to print a regular black and white score and then return to
the colored display.
