When working in full score view (when more than one MIDI region is displayed), and
inserting objects between the staffs (such as dynamic symbols), you should make sure
that these symbols have been inserted into the desired MIDI region. The target MIDI
region is automatically selected (blue staff lines) once the object has been inserted. You
can also see the name of the selected region in the top line of the Display Parameter
box.
∏
Tip: It’s generally better to change to single staff display (linear view) when inserting
objects that are positioned between staffs—especially lyrics.
Although it doesn’t matter which MIDI region (staff ) an object belongs to in full score
mode (as they stay where they are placed), such objects can be displayed with the
wrong instrument, when single instrument parts are later displayed and printed.
To switch to single region display:
m
Double-click the desired MIDI region (staff ).
To switch back to the full score display:
m
Double-click in the empty space below or above the staff.
This displays the full score, including all MIDI regions in the project.

MIDI Channel and Velocity of Inserted Objects
The MIDI channel, and velocity, of objects inserted with the mouse are determined by
the Insert Defaults settings in the Event Parameter box. These are visible (and can be
edited), when no object is selected.
