Setting up Voicings
To set up voicings for the entire chord track, you can use the chord track Inspector.
Voicing library

Voicing library subset
NoteThis is only available if Guitar or Piano is set as voicing library.
Allows you to select a preset voicing library subset.
Configure voicing parameters

Adaptive Voicings
Activate this to let Cubase set the voicings automatically. This prevents the individual voices from jumping too much.
Automatic Scales
Activate this to let Cubase set the scales automatically.
Mapping Offset
If you enter a negative number of ticks, the chord events will affect the MIDI notes that have been triggered too early.
