Splitting a Track into Melody and Accompaniment Shifting Notes Between Staves

Rearranging the Order of Tracks

If you create a new song from scratch, you can control the order of tracks as you add new tracks.

If you have imported a MIDI file, Composer orders the tracks in the score according to how they were ordered in the MIDI file. If you are not pleased with the order of the parts, you can change the order. If you have created multiple parts and then rearrange the order of tracks, the new order of the tracks will be applied to all parts, not just the part you are currently viewing.

Generate/prcarrow.gif To change the order of the tracks:

1.      Choose Track Setup from the Track menu.

     -- OR --

     Type "qts" for Quick Track Setup.

     Composer will display the Track Setup dialog box, filled out with a list of tracks as illustrated below:

2.      The order of the tracks in the top panel determines the order of printing of parts in the conductor score. To move a part up or down in the conductor score, click the track name, and then click the Move Up or Move Down button.

3.      Click the OK button to commit the changes.
