Simple Entry Palette and Rests Palette
How to get there
Click the Simple Entry Tool . (Make sure a check mark appears beside Simple Entry
Palette in the Window menu. If desired, check the Simple Entry Rests Palette
in the Window menu as well.)
What it does
This floating, resizable, movable palette
contains icons representing note values, accidentals, and other tools
for clicking music into your document. (The palette
shown here has been reshaped into a horizontal arrangement.) You can select
one tool in each category, such as one note duration, one accidental,
and one tuplet. To clear all other tool selections, double-click on a
tool. See also Simple Entry Tool.
- [Title
bar]. Drag this area to move the palette.
- [Close
box]. Click this white square to hide the palette (when
not docked). (Choosing Simple Entry Palette from the Window menu—so that
the check mark disappears—serves the same purpose.) Once the palette is
hidden, you can still place notes: press the appropriate note-value number
key then click onto a staff. See Simple Entry.
- [Resize
box]. Drag this white square to resize or reshape the palette.
If you drag toward the upper-left, you can actually make the palette smaller
by hiding some of the tools.
- [Icons].
Click an icon, then click on a staff to place that note value (or other
marking) onto the staff. Use the Eraser to remove notes or other markings.
To move a tool on the palette, shift-drag it on top of another icon.
