Voices and Display Quantize
• You can use the Object Selection tool to manually move rests up/down or
sideways to adjust the “picture”.
• If needed you can add “rest symbols” (rests that do not affect the playback data in
any way) by using the symbols.
Voices and Display Quantize
When you insert Display Quantize changes (see “Inserting Display Quantize changes”
on page 750), you can either apply the settings to all voices (by [Alt]/[Option]-clicking
with the tool) or to the current voice only.
Making Display Quantize settings for one single voice allows you to do two things:
• Make each voice have its own Display Quantize settings by inserting a Display
Quantize event for each voice, at the beginning of the staff. This is valid for the
entire staff, until another Display Quantize event is inserted.
• Insert Display Quantize “exceptions” anywhere in the score, independently for
each voice.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the “Display Quantize Tool affects all Voices” option is deactivated.
2. Select the voice for which you want to insert a Display Quantize event.
This is done by clicking at the corresponding voice button on the extended toolbar
as described above, or by selecting a note that belongs to this voice.
3. Select the Display Quantize tool.
4. Click at the position at which you want to insert the event.
The Display Quantize dialog appears.
5. Fill out the dialog as described in the section “Display Quantize and Interpretation
Options” on page 773.
6. Click Apply.
!
If “Display Quantize Tool affects all Voices” is activated in the Score Settings dialog on
the Project–Notation Style subpage (Miscellaneous category), the Display Quantize
settings always affects all voices (even if you do not press [Alt]/[Option] and click).
