What it does
This menu controls the handling of extra notes, selection and playback while using Simple Entry.
- Check for Extra Notes. This command is selected by default. When selected, NotePad checks each note you enter, and will not allow you to enter extra notes in the measure. If you try to add too many notes for the measure, or extend the duration of an existing note too far, NotePad will beep to warn you, and won’t allow you to enter the note in the measure. To override NotePad, choose Check for Extra Notes from the Simple menu to remove the checkmark, then enter the note. When Check for Extra Notes is not selected, you can enter as many notes in a measure as you’d like. Remember that any extra notes will extend past the barline of the measure.
- Fill With Rests at End of Measure. When this item is selected, NotePad will add rests to complete the measure whenever you finish working in a measure.Playback Notes on Entry. When this item is selected, every time you enter a note, you will hear the new pitch, and any other pitch in the chord, played through your computer speakers. Deselect this item to turn off playback of pitches.
Note. While entering notes into a transposed staff, NotePad will play them in concert pitch (and disregard the staff transposition). NotePad will transpose these notes during playback. To insure notes will sound the same during playback as they do during entry, turn on Display in Concert Pitch (under the Document menu).
