Note

Building chords by stacking intervals

Alt+2 through Alt+8 add a diatonic interval above the selected note — or above every note in a range — so you can build chords without leaving the keyboard.

Creating tuplets

Select the first note of the group and press F1 P, then a digit from duplet through nonuplet — or dial in a custom ratio.

Playing notes in from a MIDI keyboard

Connect a MIDI keyboard or drum pad and play notes straight onto the staff, one step at a time — pitch from the key, duration from the Note palette.

Sharps, flats, and courtesy accidentals

Required accidentals are computed automatically from the key signature — the F1 K submenu is for overriding a pitch, respelling it enharmonically, or adding a courtesy reminder.
