Syncopation

If Syncopation is switched ON, each (MIDI) note will be notated as one graphic note

(i.e., not displayed as several tied notes), regardless of its position—if this is possible.

(This also depends on the Max. Dots setting, see below) If this is not possible, the note

is (only graphically) divided into the minimum possible number of notes, connected by

ties.

The usual application for this is the display of syncopated notes. The following example

shows the same two bars displayed differently, first with Syncopation off, then ON:

Syncopation can also be switched on and off for every single note, independently from

the setting in the Display Parameter box. This can be done with a menu option, a key

command, or in the Note Attributes Window (see “Note Attributes” on page 548).

If an unwanted display of ties and notes results from the Syncopation function, it is

possible to change the graphic display of notes connected with ties. Take a User Rest

from the Part box (preferably a short one, but the length is not really important), and

insert it at the bar position where you wish for the tie to be “subdivided”. Once the rest

is inserted, it will disappear, but the note display will change. The inserted rest can only

be seen and edited in the Event List.

This trick works not only for syncopated notes, but for all notes (see the section

Changing the Way Notes with Ties Are Displayed (see “Ties” on page 498)). In

polyphonic Score Styles, the MIDI channel of the rest, and the corresponding note has

to be the same.
