Velocity random:
This textbox determines the velocity (that is, the amount of force that an
instrument player uses) randomness of a note.
Ornament:
This textbox determines the random length offset of individual notes
when playing trills and turns.
Arpeggio duration:
This textbox determines the basic duration of an arpeggio.
Grace note duration:
This textbox determines the basic duration of a grace note.
Trill/tremolando duration:
This textbox determines the basic duration of a trill or tremolando.
Tremolo duration:
This textbox determines the basic duration of a tremolo.
Glissandos:
This pop-up menu defines how to play back glissandos. They can be
played in a linear fashion, in an exponential fashion (e.g. the glissando is
weaker in the beginning and stronger in the end), and in a quadratic fashion
(the same as “exponential”, but less apparent).
Trills from above:
If checked, trills and certain ornaments begin on the auxiliary note,
instead of on the written note.
Acc. start:
This textbox determines the speed of the beginning accelerating trills and
tremolandos. The higher value, the faster.
Acc. factor:
This textbox determines the acceleration factor of the beginning accelerating
trills and tremolandos. The higher value, the faster.
