147 CHAPTER 9<br />

The Contextual Menus<br />

9.1 The Quaver Example<br />

If you Control or Right-click a note, for example a quaver/eighth note, the following<br />

menu will appear.<br />

The menu’s options work as described below:<br />

Delete quaver deletes the note.<br />

Set colour of quaver… opens a window in which the colour of the note can be<br />

changed. By using this command, you get an excellent tool for changing colours<br />

of similar objects (since the contextual menu holds for all Shift-clicked or dragenclosed<br />

objects). For instance, this feature lets teachers assign different colours<br />

to notes of different pitch, for pedagogical reasons. This feature is examined in<br />

more detail in the More About Music Input and Editing chapter on page 152.<br />

The Ottava passage command lets you insert ottava passages, as explained in the<br />

More About Music Input and Editing chapter.<br />

The Show/Hide alternative can be applied to most objects. In the example below,<br />

the upper treble clef and one of the quavers/eighth notes have been hidden – i.e.,<br />

they can be seen, but will not print.
