Working With Notation

 Click an instrument name, in the column between the parameters and score, to

select all regions for that particular instrument track (even regions spread across
different tracks that are assigned to the same software or MIDI instrument channel),
at the current display level. Remember, the instrument name column is only
displayed if View > Instrument Names is activated.

Display Parameters

This section outlines all of the display parameters available in the Score Editor. To
reiterate the point, these only affect the appearance of events in the score, not the
playback of events!

Quantize

This parameter applies visual quantization to notes: it determines the shortest note
value that can be displayed in the currently selected MIDI region (exception: artificial
N-tuplets, see “

Creating and Editing N-Tuplets

” on page 700).

As an example: If you insert a short note, such as a 32nd note, it can only be displayed
at its original length if Quantize is set to 32 or shorter. If Quantize is set to 8, the 32nd
note will be displayed as an eighth note (although it will still be played back as a 32nd
note).

The Quantize value is selected from a pop-up menu, which contains all available
display quantization options.

Among these are binary quantizations (displayed as one binary value—16 or 128), and
hybrid quantizations (two values combined, a binary and a ternary value—16,24 or
32,96 as examples).
