Adding chord symbols

Type a chord like "Cmaj7" or "G7/B" and see a live voicing preview and audition button — chord symbols transpose correctly with the score, unlike plain text.

Adding expression text

F7 E adds interpretive text like dolce or con fuoco — over 50 known terms carry a bound playback effect shown as an Effect indicator, or type freeform text with none.

Adding lyrics

Lyrics attach per note, one syllable per verse — Space commits and advances, a hyphen continues a word, and Enter commits and exits lyrics mode.

Adding rehearsal marks

F7 R stamps a boxed or circled letter/number at a measure, auto-suggesting the next one in sequence, for verbal navigation during rehearsal.

Adding staff text

F7 X adds free multiline text above or below the staff for anything the other text types don't cover, with no playback effect.

Adding technique text

F7 K adds upright instrument-action text like pizz. or arco — techniques form cancel-pairs and can change MIDI program, octave, velocity, and duration on playback.

Adding tempo markings

Eight tempo categories under F7 T — each affects playback differently, from a hard BPM value to a gradual interpolated change to a swing feel.

Swinging the eighths

F7 T F marks a swing, shuffle or straight feel — one marking that both prints on the page and changes how playback lands the off-beats, with the ratio set by ear.

Using the sustain pedal

Sustain-pedal marking is a spanner with three notation styles under F7 P — text (Ped. / *), a bracket that steps down at the release, or both together.
