CHAPTER 2<br />

“espressivo”<br />

The object of this tutorial is to get you acquainted with the basic features of <strong>Igor</strong><br />

<strong>Engraver</strong> and the philosophy behind this program. If you are not familiar with<br />

English music notation terms such as “bar”, “clef”, or “crotchet”, then please<br />

take a look at the Notation terms page, which covers these and other terms.<br />

There are two versions of this chapter. If you are a Windows user, read on; if you<br />

are a Macintosh user, skip to the Macintosh section.<br />

2.1 The Piece Window (Windows)<br />

Double-click the <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong> icon to open the program.<br />

The Tool Palette, at the top of the screen, should give you an indication of what<br />

is possible in <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong>. The most common note values, noteheads, accidentals<br />

and so forth, that you are familiar with – and perhaps even some that you do<br />

not recognise at all – are at your fingertips, ready to use, as soon as you have created<br />

a new layout. So, now it’s time to do that!

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
