Changing the playback duration of arpeggios

You can change the duration of individual arpeggios in playback.

The duration of arpeggios is expressed as a fraction of the notated rhythm of chords. For example, an arpeggio on a quarter note (crotchet) chord with a note offset value of 1/2 lasts an eighth note (quaver), whereas with a note offset value of 1/8 it lasts a 32nd note.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  3. Change the playback duration of the selected arpeggio signs by changing the value in the value field.
  4. Press Return.

Result

The playback duration of the selected arpeggios is changed.
