5 Writing Music To actuay 'put pen to paper', you need to seect a too from the tooboxes. There are severa types of too. First there are the navigation toos, for seecting, panning, and zooming. Then there are the notation toos: a text too, a bar ine too, dynamic markings toos, and most importanty the note and rest toos. Once you have seected a notation too by cicking on it or by using its shortcut key, move your mouse over the paper to position the notation, and cick to pace it. A right-cick wi cance the too. Individua notation toos are described in more detai beow. Finay there are toos that work on groups of notes: the tupet and sur toos. Tip: You can undo any change a too makes by cicking on the Undo button in the Edit tab, or by pressing Ctr+Z. The Tooboxes The Tooboxes are the coections of too buttons that appear to either side of the score. The toobox on the eft is the 'Note Toobox', the one on the right is the 'Dynamics Toobox'. Cicking on a too wi seect it, deseecting any too that was previousy seected. Adding Notes and Rests Cick on a note or rest in the Note Toobox and then move your mouse over the paper and cick to pace it. The Note Menu (see beow) wi appear to aow you to make changes to the note, or you can continue pacing more notes and rests unti you deactivate the too with a right-cick or by seecting a different too. Tip: Note toos can be seected quicky by pressing number keys 1-6. Rest toos can be seected quicky by pressing Shift + number keys 1-6. When adding eighth and sixteenth notes (quavers and semiquavers) in succession, they wi automaticay be beamed together. 3

6 The Note Menu The note menu appears to the eft of a note (or a rest) when you cick on it, or when you first pace it. It wi automaticay disappear when you move your mouse away. The note menu aows you to make changes to the note, such as its duration, accidentas, accents, tie to the next note, and whether it is a rest or a note. If you have a note or rest too activated when you change the duration of a note in the Note Menu, then the too wi be changed to one of that type and duration. Tip: The note menu can be navigated quicky using the keyboard: simpy press the number next to the item you want to seect, or press the Esc key to back out or cose the menu. Chords To form a chord, add two or more notes of the same duration to the same position on the staff. The new note wi merge with the existing note to from a chord when they are cose enough.

To seect the voice goto the notation tab on and cick voices, from the menu seect which voice you want new notes created on. Aternativey press the shortcut Ctr + number keys 1-4. It's important to remember to pace rests in areas of sience on each voice which is resting. Grace notes To create a grace note, pace a note on a staff at the desired pitch and right-cick on it and then seect grace note. 4

7 To modify the pitch of a grace note right-cick it and untick grace note. Drag the note to the desired pitch and convert it back to a grace note. Tupets Tupets can be created by seecting the Tupet too from the Note Toobox, and then cicking the first note and then the ast note of the tupet group. Crescendo creates tripets by defaut. You can customize the time ratio to turn it into any tupet that you want. To customize a tupet, right-cick on the number, the bracket or a note in the tupet. A popup menu wi appear and aow you to change the tupet's vaue and appearance. Tip: A tupet wi beam notes together despite the meter settings. Tip: A reguar note group (not a tupet) can be created by setting the tupet's time ratio to n:n, to force the notes to be beamed together. Tip: Rests in the midde of a tupet group can be beamed over. Tip: A tupet can be created over/inside another tupet. Ties To tie a note to any adjacent note, seect the first note to bring up its note menu, then choose the tie item to togge the tie on or off. A tie can aso be togged by right-cicking on the note head, and seecting Tied. 5

8 Surs To sur a note to any foowing note, seect the Sur too from the Note Toobox, then cick the first note and then cick the ast note of the group.

9 Ornaments To add a Ornament mark to a note (Tri, Mordant, Turn), cick on the note to bring up the note menu and choose the ornament you want from the ornament section. Cefs To change cef, right-cick on the existing cef, hover over Cef and seect the desired cef from the submenu. Time Signatures Right-cick on the time signature. To set a time signature for a bar that has no time signature, right cick on any staff area of the bar, hover over Time Signature and seect a time signature from the submenu. Key Signatures Right cick on the key signature. To set the key signature on a bar that has no key signature, right cick on any staff area of the bar, hover over Key Signature and seect a key signature from the sub-menu. Dynamics The Dynamics Toobox shows the toos for dynamic markings and contains the avaiabe dynamic markings that can be added to the score.

When a dynamics too is activated, a horizonta dash ine and a semi-vertica dash ine wi appear to hep with the pacement. The horizonta ine heps to aign the marking with other marking on the same ine. The vertica ine indicates the attachment position of the marking. When the vertica ine points to the midde of a note head, the dynamic marking is attached to the note and wi move with the note. By defaut, the object movement is verticay ocked to a fixed position, ike a magnet. The movement can be freed by hoding down the Shift key. 7

10 Crescendo and Decrescendo (Hairpins) To create a crescendo marking (aso known as hairpin mark), seect the Crescendo or Decrescendo too from the Dynamics Toobox. Pace the start point by cicking on the position you want, simiar to pacing dynamic markings and text, and then cick to pace the end point. Crescendo markings incude two separated binding points, whereas dynamic markings and texts ony have one. This means that the two end points of crescendo markings attach to different bars/notes and move with them accordingy. Text Text can be used to create tempo, expressions, yrics and fingering numbers, etc. To add text anywhere on the score, seect the text too from the Dynamics Toobox, then cick the score where you want the text to be added. This wi open an Edit Text window. Type the text into the text fied, set the size, the font and seect formatting for the text if desired. Cick the Set button to add the text to the score.
