Stem
This controls the direction of stems. The default setting is Auto. Up or Down forces all
stems, regardless of pitch, into the corresponding direction. Hide makes all stems (and
with them beams and flags) invisible.
Tie
The vertical direction of automatically displayed ties. The default setting is Auto. Up or
Down forces all ties into the corresponding direction.
Tupl
Controls the direction of N-tuplet brackets and numbers. The default setting is Auto. Up
or Down forces all N-tuplet brackets and numbers into the corresponding direction.
Hide prevents the automatic display of triplet brackets and numbers. In this case, the
numbers are still displayed in brackets on the screen, to allow editing of these triplets.
On the printout however, these bracketed numbers will not appear.
If you set this parameter to Hide, you can still make particular triplets visible: double-
click on the bracketed number (3) to open a tuplet dialog box. If you now close this
box with OK, you convert the automatically displayed triplet into a “forced” triplet,
which will be displayed according to the parameters set in the dialog box.
Beam
Controls the appearance of beams. The default setting Slant allows slanted beams.
Horiz allows only horizontal beams. Vocal prevents any display of beams, as is typical in
“classical” vocal parts, where notes are displayed with flags only.
Color
Sets the color of the voice’s notes. The color options are: Black (“---”), Pitch, Velocity,
and the 16 colors of the user palette (see “Color” on page 573).
These settings only affect Regions which use an according Score Style. In addition, the
active color mode in the Score Edit Window has to be Normal (Individual), which is the
default setting.
