Score Styles
Basics
The Concept of Score Styles
Score Styles could be compared to text formats in word processing and desktop
publishing software. In this case however, it is score attributes that are stored, not font
settings. This makes it very easy to assign multiple attributes; such as clef, staff size,
vertical distance between staves, instrument transposition, and so on, to any existing or
newly created MIDI Region. A Score Style includes the following parameters:
• Number of staves (for the display of one MIDI Region)
• For polyphonic, multi-staff Score Styles: configuration of brackets and bar lines
connecting the staves.
For every staff:
• Staff size
• Distance to the next higher and lower staves
• Number of independent (polyphonic) voices in that staff
• Clef
• Display transposition
• Key signature on/off
For every independent (polyphonic) voice:
• Automatic rest display on/off
• Stem direction of notes
• Tie direction
• Direction of N-tuplet brackets and numbers
• Beaming
• MIDI channel assignment for that voice and/or definition of a split point pitch for
separation of the different voices.
• Note Color
Logic contains various predefined Score Styles.
Score Styles do not affect the rhythmic display, unlike the other parameters in the
Display Parameter box. Also, they do not affect the horizontal distance (spacing) of
notes (apart from changes caused by different stave sizes). This is determined in Layout
