CHAPTER 3
5. Now, use the Simple or Speedy Entry Tool (as described earlier in this chapter) to enter notes
into the first four measures as they appear in Figure 3.30.
6. Notice that measures five and six are duplicates of measures one and two. Let’s save time by
copying with the Mass Edit Tool. Click the Mass Edit Tool and then drag over measures one
and two so they are highlighted. Then click the highlighted area and drag to measure five
(you will see a black border around measures five and six). Release the mouse button and
click OK.
7. Now use the Simple or Speedy Entry Tool to enter notes into measures seven through twelve.
8. Use the same procedure described in step 6 to copy measures nine and ten into measure
thirteen and fourteen.
9. Enter notes into the final two measures with the Simple or Speedy Entry Tool.
10. To delete the extra measures, click the Mass Edit Tool, and then click to highlight measure
seventeen (the first empty measure). Then, while holding down the Shift key, press the right
arrow key to select every measure to the end of the piece. Press Delete to delete these
measures (notice there is now a final barline at the end of the piece).
11. Now that we have entered notes into the score, let’s enter the dynamic markings. We’ll use
the Expression Tool to do this. Click the Expression Tool, and then double-click beneath the
pickup measure. The Expression Selection dialog box appears. Choose the F expression
and click Select. Then click OK. The F expression appears below the staff. Now, let’s use
pre-defined metatools to enter the remaining two dynamic markings. While holding down
the 4 key, click beneath measure nine to add the f marking. Then, while holding down the
5 key, click beneath measure fifteen to enter the F marking. To see all of the metatool
assignments, double-click anywhere in the score to open the Expression Selection dialog box.
All of the metatool assignments appear to the right of each expression. Click Cancel to return
to the score.
