56 Chapter 1 Using Logic

An example: If a G is inserted immediately after inserting a C, the G will be placed

below the C. Inserting the C places the range beam between G (left end) and F# (right

end), with the C in the center. Regardless of which note is chosen next, it will always be

inserted inside this range. The range beam will, however, move as further notes are

inserted, with the (range beam) center always aligned to the most recently inserted

note.

Further key commands allow you to place the range bar in different octaves: Octave 0

to Octave 6, and also Octave +1/−1/+2/−2, which move the range bar up or down one

or two octaves. The range bar can also be moved with the mouse.

Note Length and Velocity

Note Length and Velocity are determined before a pitch command is used to actually

insert a note. The currently selected values can be seen in the Keyboard Window.

Rests, Correction, Moving Forward and Back

The Rest key command moves the Song Position Line forward (in accordance with the

currently set note value) without inserting a note, thereby creating a rest.

The Step backwards and Step forward key commands also move the Song Position Line

forward or back by the length of the selected note value.

The Erase key command will delete the most recently inserted note, and move the

Song Position Line back to the position where the note (previously) began. This allows

quick corrections—another note can be inserted immediately, replacing the erased

one.

Triplets, Dotted Note Groups

The Next three notes are triplets key command is self-explanatory. The rhythmic value of

the triplets corresponds to the currently selected note value in the Keyboard Window. If

an eighth note is selected, an eighth note triplet will be created. After three notes have

been inserted, binary values will be inserted, unless the command is reused.

Next two notes are a dotted group works in a similar way. The special thing about this

key command is that a pair of notes that complement each other will be inserted. A

dotted eighth and a sixteenth note, for example.

Interaction with other key commands

If the input mode is activated in an editor window (Score, Matrix, or Event List), these

key commands have priority over all other key commands.

This means that you may also assign keys or key combinations to these functions

which are already assigned to other functions. As long as the input mode is active,

these key assignments will apply; if the input mode is switched off, any other

assignments (for the same keys) will have priority.
