Rhythm editing

When you edit a score that includes a rhythmic layer (see the structure of a score), tapping a rhythmic symbol (note or rest) or an empty position displays the rhythm editor in the editing area:

Editing a rhythmic bar is based on entering the desired rhythmic symbols, note by note. LiveSet makes sure that only the note/rest durations that are possible at the current position are available.

The symbols at the top of the screen let you move to the previous/next symbol, and send the current or next bar to the next line.

The button disables or re-enables automatic filling with rests. By default, LiveSet fills the bar with the appropriate rests. However, there are situations where you may prefer to write bars that overlap the beats, for example:

The previous bar requires automatic filling to be disabled, because otherwise LiveSet would only allow you to write it while respecting the beats:

At the bottom of the input keyboard, several buttons allow you to enter additional elements:

• creates a tie with the next note (to be activated on the previous note)
• starts a triplet. Press the button several times to change the number of beats the triplet covers (one beat, two beats or four beats).
• shows or hides note stems (the option cannot be used for quavers or shorter values, as they could not be displayed without stems).
• The symbols on the right allow you to show various accents or articulations above the different notes.
