Entering Notes into Voices

When you add new notes, you need to decide which voice they go into: 1. Make sure the Score Toolbar is visible.
2. Select the Arrow Tool.
3. If you have a split system, check the Voice Insert buttons.

 

The Voice Insert buttons – here three voices are activated on the upper staff. These are displayed after the text “Insert” on the left side to the Score Toolbar. Only the Voices that are activated in the Polyphonic Settings dialog are shown. If the upper Staff is active, the Voice Insert buttons are numbered 1, 2, etc, otherwise they are numbered 5, 6, etc.

4. If you need to switch the voice icons to the right “clef”, click somewhere in the system you want to insert notes in.
5. Select one of the voices by clicking on the corresponding button.

 

Any notes you enter from now on will now be inserted into that voice.

 

Voice 3 activated for insertion.

6. Insert the notes as usual.
7. If you want to switch to another voice, click on the corresponding button.

8. If you want to insert notes into a voice on the other clef, click on that clef and then select a voice using the buttons.

Symbols and Voices

Later in this manual you will learn about symbols that can be added to the score. Many of these symbols must also put into a particular voice. See page 188.
