Hovering and Clicking
To access options, simply move your cursor over a visible graphic pane, and the upper tier automatically opens .
Moving your cursor to a different pane automatically closes the current menu of options
and opens a different one .
To lock the upper tier open, just click once on any bottom-tier pane .
Keeping a group of options locked open is especially useful for such activities as Entering notes
and rests into a score . Not only does this save time accessing different options off the same menu,
locking also enables you to combine (some) multiple options as a single unit . For example, once
you lock the notes/rests pane open (the third from the left), you can click the graphic for a single
note (such as quarter note), click an augmentation dot, and click the lower voice
(multi-voice)
graphic . All three characteristics are now ready to be placed as a single note into your score .
Click once anywhere in the pane (marked by the red circle) to lock open the menu of options above it.
To unlock, do one of the following:
8
Click a different pane . This closes the first menu and locks open the menu for the pane you just clicked; OR
8
Click the pane a second time . This closes its menu and restores the upper tier’s standard hovering operation .
Nomenclature
