Using stacatto to control playback
In the user guide and help files, I can't figure out where to find a discussion of using stacatto to control the articulation in playback. Searching both documents for the term turns up no matches, whereas searching for the term dot turns up way too many references to dotted notes. Any hints about where to look? (Or is this the articulation that dare not speak its name in polite society?)
I managed to puzzle out how to add the stacatto dot to a score, but doing so doesn't seem to affect the playback. Thanks, |

You are correct that the staccato note dots do not currently affect the actual performance. You can, however, use Composer to get the performance to sound the way you want it to. For the details on doing it, you can use the Index in the Users Guide to look for "duration of notes" and select the subtopic "editing as-performed". The shortcut method to use is: 1. Open your file. ttfn, Sherry

Re: Using stacatto to control playback
Ah, so that's what it's under: editing as performed. I ignored that topic, thinking it had to do with midi imports but now I see how it applies.

Sherry, as always, thanks for the quick and thorough response. By the way, I find your documentation to be outstanding: clear, accurate and comprehensive. So, no dig intended. |

Re: Using stacatto to control playback
Ah, of course. That explains why the search turned up zilch. I let the staccato button's tool tip lead me astray. It reads, "stacatto (dot .)". Perhaps "Never trust a man who has only one way to spell a word" applies and thus, Notation is more trustworthy for its diversity. Well, whatever.
