Tutorial 4: Playing and Recording Software Instruments

Printing Music Notation

You can print a Software Instrument track as music notation. When you print a track as
music notation, the track is printed in a standard layout, with the note values currently
displayed and using the clef sign currently shown in score view. The printed music
notation includes the project name as the title, the tempo, and the composer name.

To print a Software Instrument track as music notation:

1

Select the Software Instrument track.

2

Click Score to show the track as music notation.

Click the Grid button in the upper-right corner of the editor, and make sure the Score
grid is set to show the correct note value.

3

Choose File > Print.

4

In the Print dialog, choose the correct settings for your printer, then click Print.

The track is printed as music notation. The project name appears at the top of the page
as the title. The tempo appears in the upper left, and the composer name (as set in
GarageBand preferences) appears in the upper right. The measure number appears
above the first bar of each row of the music (called a stave). If the printed notation
requires more than one page, the page number appears centered at the bottom of
each page.
