How the Score Editor operates

The Score Editor does the following:

• Reads the MIDI notes in the MIDI parts.

• Looks at the settings you have made.

• Decides how the MIDI notes are displayed according to the settings.

The Score Editor takes MIDI data and settings as input and produces a score as output.

The Score Editor does all this in realtime. If you change some of the MIDI data (for example by moving or shortening a note) this is immediately reflected in the score. If you change some of the settings (for example the time signature or key signature) this is also immediately apparent.

Do not think of the Score Editor as a drawing program, but rather as an “interpreter” of MIDI data.
