Chapter 33 Working With Notation 705
Although it doesn’t matter which MIDI region (staff ) an object belongs to in full score
mode (as they stay where they are placed), such objects can be displayed with the
wrong instrument, when single instrument parts are later displayed and printed.
To switch to single region display:
m Double-click the desired MIDI region (staff ).
To switch back to the full score display:
m Double-click in the empty space below or above the staff.
This displays the full score, including all MIDI regions in the project.
For full details on all Part box objects and features, see “ Working With the Part Box ” on
page 708.
MIDI Channel and Velocity of Inserted Objects
The MIDI channel, and velocity, of objects inserted with the mouse are determined by
the Insert Defaults settings in the Event Parameter box. These are visible (and can be
edited), when no object is selected.
To display the Insert Defaults settings:
m Click anywhere on the background of the working area.
When inserting events into a staff which uses a polyphonic staff style (see “ Adding
Staffs to a Staff Style ” on page 781), only MIDI channels that correspond to those of the
voices can be used.
Many symbols display a MIDI channel in the Event List. For most objects, the MIDI
channel determines the staff (theoretically, up to 16) that the symbol belongs to, in
polyphonic staff styles.
Note: If this parameter is set to a value that exceeds the number of staffs in the staff
style, the symbol will disappear.
