CHAPTER 9<br />

The Contextual Menus<br />

148<br />

Mute playback of quaver does not affect the graphics, but lets you mute the note<br />

during playback, as the name implies.<br />

The Set duration submenu lets you change duration of the selected note.<br />

The Stem direction submenu lets you control the direction of the stem: it can be<br />

set to Up or Down. This submenu also lets you Freeze or Thaw the direction of the<br />

stem: if a stem is frozen and pointing upwards, it will point upwards – even if it<br />

is transposed – until Thaw has been selected.<br />

The Beam command lets you define how the beam should behave. Beaming is<br />

examined further in the More About Music Input and Editing chapter.<br />

Accidental mode lets you decide whether the note’s accidental should be shown or<br />

not. An accidental can have standard behaviour, be forced to appear, be parenthesised,<br />

or be hidden.<br />

The Slash notation command is used for changing the note to a slash notation<br />

“note”.<br />

The Cross staff command is used for moving the note between different staves.<br />

Scale quaver… brings up a window in which the size of the note can be altered.<br />

Untweak quaver appears a the note has been moved or “tweaked” in any other<br />

way, and puts the note back to its default position or size.<br />

The Hide legerlines/Show legerlines appears if there are leger lines applied to the<br />

note. This command lets you hide (or show, if already hidden) the legerlines<br />

attached to the note. This is done to the first quaver/eighth note of the lower<br />

staff in the example below.
