Editing note clusters

To insert additional note heads to existing note stem:

In Insert mode, additional noteheads can be added to an existing note stem simply by

clicking above or below an existing note provided the selected note value (displayed

by the cursor) is the same as the existing note stem. Position the cursor on the correct

line or space and when the note highlights yellow, click to insert.

· To add a notehead to any existing note stem (regardless of what is shown on your

cursor), hit the "Z" key ("Cluster tool"). When the existing note highlights yel-

low, click to insert new notehead.

To delete a notehead from existing cluster:

· Select Cluster tool from the Notes palette ("Z" key). Then hit the "X" key Click-

ing on any notehead in a cluster will remove a single notehead. The Delete cluster

tool also works to delete single-headed notes.

NOTE: Always use the Cluster tool to remove single note heads. The single greyed

note and arrow will delete entire note cluster.

FIGURE 5 - 8: Editing Beamed Notes

· To form a beamed group, insert the selected beamed note by clicking into a staff

(not adjacent to another beam group). Repeated clicks will form successive 2-note

beam groups when "left" or "right" beam direction is selected. One continuous

beam group will be created when the "middle-beam" is selected. Auto-Beam can

be used, but it may also cause re-coupling of other beams in the measure. See

"Staff Line Options (Right-click inside staff line)", Section 8.7.1 for more details.
