piece, this can be done with ease. If you want to change the language of the
instrument names and the musicians, this can easily be done too (the English,
Italian, German, French, Swedish and Finnish languages are currently supported).
These changes are made in the Settings for this piece... or Settings for new
piece... windows (which are opened from the Edit menu).
Space does not permit us to discuss all of the features of the settings windows
here, but as an example, some of the possible metre settings (available from the
Key & metre pane of the Piece settings window) that would affect all the layouts
of a piece are shown below (these specific changes must be made before creating a
new layout).
4.6 Moving On
Igor Engraver supports a concept called “House looks”. This concept allows the
current settings to form a template, so that these settings can be applied to other
pieces automatically. This way you will get a consistent look throughout all of
the pieces you create or receive from other people – a great feature for producing
a songbook, for example.
To learn more about inputting music, adding lyrics, chord analysis or guitar diagrams,
tablature, playback features, changing settings and so on, please read the
next chapters carefully.
