D Mixer: A separate window with controls for you to adjust audio parameters for individual instruments, settings for
mixing effects/VSTs, and sending audio to external equipment .
E Cursor: In the score area, you view the cursor in various shapes, including as a marker across the staves in a system (as

edit the score (the Music Cursor) .
