• 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 Parameter box and the Event Parameter box can be reduced to display
just their title lines, 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 552)
• The selected Instrument Set (see “Instrument Sets and Score Display Levels” on
page 552)
• Page or Linear view (menu View, and/or button to the right of the MIDI Out button)
• Zoom level
• Explode Folders (see “View Menu” on page 482) on or off
• Explode Polyphony (see “View Menu” on page 482) on or off
• Hyper Draw (see “Hyper Draw in the Score Edit Window” on page 494) on or off
Input Methods in the Score Window
There are several ways to input notes and symbols in the Score window:
• Real time MIDI recording (notes and sustain pedal markings only)
• MIDI step input (notes only)
• Mouse input from the Part box (notes, text, and all symbols)
• Insertion of copied events (all, except global events)
• Fast input of symbols by assignment to selected notes with key commands. These
are available for some symbols which are attached to notes (accents, Jazz symbols
and so on), and slurs or crescendi.
• With Hyper Draw (see “Hyper Draw in the Score Edit Window” on page 494), you can
also insert and edit MIDI events which are not normally displayed in the Score
window at all, like continuous controller data (i.e. volume, pitchbend, and so on).
The various input and insertion methods can be combined. With all input methods,
however, you should always keep in mind that MIDI playback is also influenced by the
settings in the Region Parameter box (see “MIDI Region Playback Parameters” on
page 141) and Instrument Parameter box (see “The Instrument Parameters” on
page 123) in the Arrange window. Settings in the Environment may also affect MIDI
playback, if you have configured it to do so.
