To copy a staff style and assign it to a selected MIDI region
1 Select a MIDI region in the Score Editor.
2 Click the Style parameter in the Display Parameter box, and choose ****DUPLICATE!****
from the pop-up menu.
Any of these methods results in a new style, named after the staff style it is derived from,
with “*copied” appended to its name. This text can be edited in the name box of the Staff
Style window.
Adding Staffs to a Staff Style
You can add a staff to your staff style. This allows you to create a two-staff piano style
from a single staff style, for example.
Each staff is represented by a number in the first column. These numbers are assigned
automatically, and cannot be changed.
To add a staff to a staff style
µ
Determine the staff insert position by clicking in the narrow column to the left of the staff
numbers in the Staff Style window, then choose New > Insert Staff.
The new line is inserted at the insert mark (>) position.
Adding Voices to a Staff Style
You need polyphonic staff styles (staff styles with independent voices) to display
rhythmically different melodic lines in the same staff (typical for choirs). Theoretically,
you can create up to 16 independent voices in a staff style.
To add a voice to a staff style
µ
Choose New > Insert Voice.
The newly inserted voice inherits the parameters of the voice above it. These can be freely
edited. The staff field in the first column remains empty.
The new voice is inserted at the insert mark (>) position, set with a click in the narrow
column to the left of the staff numbers. (This is important if you want to insert a new
voice between existing voices.)
The default project contains a number of polyphonic staff styles for piano (Piano 1+2/3+4,
for example) and church organ (Organ 1+2/3+4/5, with three staffs, for example).
