Click on one of the links for detailedinformation about eac h component.ToolbarsThe colored buttons along the top portion of the main window are actually separate toolbarsthat contains controls for accessing com monly-used features.There are four different toolbars: the File toolbar contains buttons for managing documents;the Edit toolbar contains buttons for exporting, editing and c hanging an open document;the Performance toolbar contains transport controls for playing and rec ording your music;the Time toolbar contains a time display that counts out bars and beats during aperformance.ViewsThe main view displayed above is the Music Score, which is one of several different viewsavailable for creating and editing a document.

Forte 3buttons on the Edit toolbar to toggle the display on any of the tool windows:-o-20

Forte 3OverviewThe Elements Palette: An IntroductionThe Elements Palette is quite literally a palette of music elements that you c an add to yourdocument. Whenever you want to add a music symbol you should go to the Elements Palettefirst.The music symbols are organized into different pages acc ording to element type. All the notesare in one page, all the dynamic markings are in another page, all the ornaments are in yetanother page, and so on. Once a music symbol is selected in the Elements Palette, it's asimple matter of c licking the mouse in the music to add the symbol.Depending on which view you use, it may not always be possible to enter every sym bol inevery view. For example, the Piano Roll does not display slurs or ties so it is not possible toenter them there - you must use the Music Score.For detailed information about the Elements Palette c lick here.-o-21

Forte 3The Properties Window: An IntroductionThe Properties Window displays a list of property pages for the current selec tion and is one ofthe most commonly-used tool windows in the entire applic ation. The Properties Window isused to edit and modify elements after you have inserted them into your music document.As the current selection changes, so too does the list of property pages displayed in theProperties Window. The Properties Window can be hidden or displayed as needed. You caneven select different types of elements and the Properties Window displays property pagesthat are common to the entire selection.The Properties Window is used to modify literally hundreds of different elementcharacteristics. Everything from the style of a note, the shape of slurs and ties to the spacingaround a staff can be changed using the Properties Window. The usual m ethod of editing amusic symbol is to select it then use the Properties Window to c hange the desired elementpropertiesOne of the most powerful features of the Properties Window is its ability to m odify manydifferent elements at once. You can select several notes, for exam ple, and with a singleoperation change all their durations to 8th notes, or all the stem directions. As you begin toedit different music symbols you will appreciate how the Properties Window sim plifies yourwork.For detailed information about the Properties Window c lick here.-o-22

Forte 3The Mixer: An IntroductionThe Mixer is used to control the interaction of different tracks in your m usic document. If youwant one part to sound louder than another does, for example, you use the mixer to adjustthe volumes to get the mix sounding just right. The Mixer is also used to select trac ks and setcharacteristics such as Mute, Solo and Record states.Each track indicator displays the track name, volume, and status. The master area c ontainsmaster controls that affect the perform ance of all tracks. Tempo, for example, is controlled inthe master area.The Mixer can be docked/undocked to the main application window, just like a toolbar. Whenthe Mixer is undocked you can resize it horizontally to take up less sc reen space.For detailed information about the Mixer c lick here.-o-23
