Configuring the instruments view |
Why modifying the instruments view? [Professional] [Composition Pro] In this lesson, we will learn how to
personalize the aspect of the instruments view. We had seen
that it has several aspects that one can reach via his
configurations menu. The objective here is to be able to
establish a new configuration which will be added to the
others and which will cuts your preference in your work with
Pizzicato. Perhaps the way in which we presented this window
will not be optimal for you, because as soon as one starts to
know a software, one works according to his own practices. Perhaps a user would like to have a display
which shows at the same time the name, the synthesizer , the
instruments family, the instrument and the sound volume, the
whole in a unique display. The continuation of this lesson
explains you how to execute that.
The instruments view configuration dialog box [Professional] [Composition Pro] The left list shows the names of the existing configurations.
According to the Pizzicato version you have, there may be others
than the one visible here above. The first is selected. To the
right, you have the list of the elements contained in the
selected configuration, in the order where they appear. To see
the contents of another configuration, click on its name in the
left list and the contents appears in other list. A new configuration appears after the selected one. The text
box below the list is used to give it a name. Replace the three
dashes with My configuration. The right list is empty
because this new configuration does not yet any element to
display. It is a Short name , i.e. it lets you see or modify
the short name of a staff. It is usually the first element in a
configuration, used to locate the staves. The controllers can also be visualized with a text box or a
menu. Our configuration is ready. Click OK. In the
instruments view, click on the top left icon and select the My
configuration item which was added in it. You can then
contemplate the configuration just created: Erase My configuration in order to return to the
situation you had before this lesson. Click OK to
confirm the operation. You are now able create your instruments view displays.
Observe your working method and create one or more personal
configurations which contain an effective setup of these
elements.
