Inserting Display Quantize changes

Some situations may require different staff settings on different sections of the track. The staff settings are valid for the entire track, but you can insert changes wherever you like:

Procedure

  1. Select the Display Quantize tool on the toolbar or the context menu.

    The Display Quantize dialog opens.

    Figure: Select the Display Quantize tool to open the Display Quantize dialog.

  2. Activate the flags you need and set the quantize values as desired.
  3. If you want to restore the settings to the ones used in the Score Settings dialog (Staff page), click the “Restore To Staff” button.
  4. Move the mouse over the staff where you want to insert a new Display Quantize value.

    Use the Mouse Time Position display in the status line to find the exact location. The vertical position is of no relevance as long as you click somewhere in the staff.

  5. Click the mouse button to insert a Display Quantize event.

Result

The new quantize settings are now inserted into the staff at the position where you clicked. The settings are valid until a new change is inserted. Display Quantize events is always inserted for all voices.

If you are using polyphonic voices, you can insert a Display Quantize event for all voices by pressing Alt and clicking with the tool.

If the “Display Quantize Tool affects all Voices” option is activated in the Score Settings dialog on the Project page (Notation Style subpage, in the Miscellaneous category), Display Quantize events is always inserted for all voices.
