Pop-up menu

This pop-up menu appears via a mouse right-click in a sheet view, and is represented by the ≡ symbol in this handbook.

It displays contextual information and actions that depend on the sheet latest processing step, the current location in sheet view and the selected items if any.

Some of its content also depends on user-selected Advanced Topics in the Preferences dialog.

Chords

Depending on the chord(s) currently selected, this sub-menu allows to modify their configuration regarding time slot and voice.

See the chapter on Chords editing.

Inters

If at least one Inter instance has been selected, this sub-menu lists the selected Inters, ordered by decreasing grade.

It also allows to delete Inter instance(s) or relation(s).

Glyphs

If at least one Glyph instance has been selected, the compound glyph (dynamically built by merging all selected glyphs) appears in this sub-menu.

It allows to assign a specific shape (via a created Inter) to the selected glyph.

Slot #n @offset

If the RHYTHMS step has been reached, this sub-menu relates to the closest time-slot in the containing measure stack.

For this time slot, we can:

  • Dump chords: list all the chords starting on this slot.
  • Dump voices: list all the voices with chords starting on this slot.

Measure #n

If current location lies within a measure, this sub-menu provides actions upon the selected measure.

A measure is delimited horizontally by the left and right bar-lines and vertically by the top and bottom staves of the containing part.

Depending on which steps have already been performed, we can:

  • Dump stack voices: for the containing vertical stack of measures, display a kind of strip with time slots in abscissa and voices in ordinate.
  • Dump measure voices: same display but limited to the containing measure.
  • Reprocess rhythm: force re-computation of rhythm data (slots and voices) in the current measure.
  • Merge on right: merge the current measure with the next measure on right.

Example of voices dump:

V 5 |Ch#2347 |Ch#2348 |Ch#2349 |Ch#2350 |Ch#2351 =========|1/2

Staff #n

This sub-menu appears if the current location is within a staff height (even beyond staff horizontal limits).

We can edit the whole staff or one of its lines (see Staff Editing):

  • Edit staff: Manual editing of all staff lines as a whole
  • Edit lines: Manual editing of one staff line in isolation

We can also display vertical projections of the whole staff and of the staff header, provided that the PLOTS advanced topic has been selected.

Part #n

Allows to manually assign a logical part to this physical part.
See the section on part Manual mapping.

System #n

If the current system is not the last one in sheet, this allows to Merge with system below.

Page #n

Allows to Reprocess rhythm, that is to force re-computation of rhythm data for the whole page.

Score #n

Allows to manage all the logical parts in the containing score.
See the chapter on logical part management

Extraction

Extracts a rectangular portion (or whole) of the underlying binary image and save it to disk. This is meant for sharing or further analysis.

Limitation: The rectangular area selection is effective only from the Binary tab, not from the Data tab.
