Notation Editor Keyboard Commands

OM allows you to edit music notation directly through the notation editors. Notation editors consist of a General Palette and a Data Window. Both the General Palette and the Data Window may contain more or fewer fields or objects depending on the type of factory you are editing, since some tools are irrelevant to some types of data (the time signature tool for a single note, for example). The General Palette and Data Window shown here for music notation are composites containing all the buttons found in all the graphic editors for music notation. Do not, therefore, be alarmed if the palette or window that comes up when you double-click a specific object in OM is missing some of the buttons or fields shown here.

The following factory icons have notation editors: Note, Chord, Chord-seq, Multi- seq, Voice, Poly. The graphic editor for the Maquette is described in the Maquette chapter.

The buttons of the General Palette are listed below in alphabetical order.
