Entry Palette
Click to Access Commonly Used Score Symbols
Only available in Edit mode, the Entry Palette enables you to access markings you can place on your score by clicking an
option appearing in popup menus . Most of the time, clicking on a graphic or text places a representation of that item
on your Music Cursor . A few options, such as key signature, open up a separate dialog box with properties you can edit .
For flexibility, markings and features in the Entry Palette can also be reached by
the Menu Bar or keyboard shortcut, and in many cases, both .
Dock the Palette
The Palette automatically appears at the bottom of the score area when you switch from NTempo
Mode to Edit mode, if you have a checkmark at Window > Show Palette in the Menu bar . With this
setting, the Palette is “docked”; it will always appear in Edit mode at this one location . It will hide
when you switch out of Edit mode to NTempo mode or when you display Score Setup .
Undock the Palette
When you remove the checkmark at Window > Show Palette in the Menu bar, the Entry Palette does
not automatically show when you first Enter Edit mode . You have the Palette appear, when you do
not have anything highlighted or click-selected, by right-clicking anywhere in the score area .
If the undocked Entry Palette is already
visible , then a right-click moves the Palette closer to the spot where
you clicked with the Pointer in the score area . This way, the Palette is never far away from where you are
currently working or can be effortlessly repositioned around the score area without dragging .
Two Separate Tiers
The Palette has two tiers:
A An upper tier containing score markings and a few dialog boxes (such as Time Signature) .
B A lower tier grouping similar markings together . The box on the far right contains instrument-specific markings and
will change automatically depending on which staff is selected .
