Melodic Principles

Since the human voice can not sing multiple pitches simultaneously, notes can not overlap in time. When notes are moved or stretched, resulting in overlap, the principle of note-start-priority will be followed. Therefore, the duration of the preceding note will be automatically trimmed.

Key Range

Note-Splitting Tool (shortcut [X]):

After selecting the note splitting tool, clicking on any position of a note will split it into two, resulting in the right proportion becoming a tenuto. The note splitting tool is snapped to the grid by default, and the snap can be detached by holding down the [Ctrl] (Windows) / [Command] (Mac) key.

Piano Key PreSound & Scale Mode

When the piano keyboard is clicked, or when a note is clicked, moved, or created, the corresponding pitch will be played in the piano key sound by default. You can click on the speaker icon on the upper left of the piano keys to turn off the presound.When editing a melody with a specific scale, you can open the scale mode to light up the scale on the piano keys and grid with colors or to fold unnecessary keys. After opening, click the small arrow on the right of the scale button to set the key signature and scale type, and click the fold button to hide keys outside the scale.
