The inspector
Two doors, for two kinds of question:
- About the score itself — the toolbar’s … → Score details…: title, subtitle, composer, lyricist, copyright. The first three print at the top of page 1; nothing needs selecting to fix a typo in them.
- About something selected — the … above the score → Inspector…, which opens the sheet that fits what is selected.
The tempo mark
A tempo mark belongs to a bar, not to the score — select a bar and take Tempo mark from the palette drawer, or tap an existing mark and open the Inspector. Words (Allegro), the beat unit, and beats per minute; a preview line assembles the whole thing — Allegro ♩ = 120 — before you apply it.
The staff — tap its clef
Tap a clef to reach a staff’s own settings — the clef is the one thing drawn on the page that belongs to a single staff. The Staff sheet holds:
- Instrument — search flute, sax, fiddle…; choosing one fills in the fields below so you see what it will do before it does it.
- Name — what prints in the margin.
- Clef — treble, bass, alto, tenor.
- Sounds — for transposing instruments: As written, 2 semitones lower, and so on. Changing it respells that staff’s key signatures, and no other’s.
Selecting the clefs of several staves opens the sheet for all of them; a field they disagree about says Various, and a field you leave alone is left alone on every staff.
Above or below
Select a mark — or a phrase full of them — and the Inspector offers Above or Below the staff. Tapping a side is the answer; notes caught in the selection are ignored, and the count in the heading says how many marks will move.
For notes and rests themselves the Inspector stays closed on purpose: the input strip, three inches below, is their editor.
