Syncopation

Activate Syncopation when the program adds more ties to notes crossing beats and bar lines than you prefer. The following options are available:

Relax

When Syncopation is “relaxed”, the program applies syncopation in a number of common cases.

Full

Syncopation is on.

Off

Syncopation is off, with no exceptions.

For a “modern” notation of syncopated notes, activate Syncopation.

Figure: Without and with Syncopation

Figure: Again, without and with Syncopation

Note that you can insert “exceptions” to the Syncopation setting in the Score Settings dialog on the Staff page, by using the Display Quantize tool. You can also create tied notes in various combinations by using the Cut Notes tool.
