Music Creation Suite
Quick Start Guide
The score settings section allows you to quickly hide and
remove staves, as well as access instruments:
• Click the green “eye” to the left of a new staff to
hide it from view (but still play back).
• Click the red “cross” button to delete the staff completely.
• Click the gray “cogwheel” to access the instrument settings window, where you
can change instrument name and abbreviation, instrument sound, transposition,
string tuning, and type of staff. You can also change the staff into a “Sequencer
Staff” for a MIDI-style view of notation when you are recording in real time.
To change instrument order, drag-and-drop individual staves to the desired position.
Press Escape to exit the Score Setup screen.
6.3 Enter notes in Notion
You can use the mouse to select durations and other items from the
palette at the bottom of the screen. To speed up entry, you can use
keyboard shortcuts: Just hover over the item in the palette to view
its shortcut (or view the Shortcuts pdf from the Help menu).
You can use the onscreen instruments for note entry or to audition a
melody: Select from a piano, drum pad, fretboard, and chord library.
You can select Step Time Record by clicking on the “steps” icon in the transport.
Use one hand on the computer keyboard to select the rhythmic duration
shortcuts and the other hand on your PS49 to select and enter the pitch.
