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

In this guide, we identify an bottom tier’s pane by its position, such as third from left, middle pane, or last pane .
