Wait for Note dialog box

How to get there

The Wait for Note dialog box can be accessed in two ways, depending on whether you are entering a new marker or editing one that already exists in your score:

1. Choose Utilities > SmartMusic Markers.
2. Select Wait for Note On from the marker list on the left.
3. Click Add.

Or,

1. Select an existing Wait for Note marker from the Marker window.
2. Click Edit.

What it does

Use the settings in this dialog box to control the type and measure assignment for the Wait for Note marker you are adding or editing. Using the Rehearsal Mark or Bar and Note setting, specify the placement of this marker. Use this dialog to place the marker on the note you want to resume the accompaniment. SmartMusic will resume its performance upon hearing this note. (A resume marker is added for you automatically. See SmartMusic Performance Markers for more information).

Noteman says: If your note falls in a repeated section, repeat options appear in the repeat field. You can select the note the first time through a repeat, second time, and so on. Choose the repeat option you want to use from the Repeat drop-down menu. You will have to place a marker twice if you want the pause to occur both times through a repeated section (unless Every Time is selected under the Repeat drop-down menu).

• Rehearsal Mark • Bar • Beat • Repeat. Choose a rehearsal mark, repeat, or specify a bar and note to add a Wait for Note marker.
• Reset Tempo on Resume. Check this box to add a Reset Tempo marker after the Resume marker. This resets the tempo to the previous value.
• OK • Cancel. Click OK to apply these settings to the SmartMusic Marker you are adding/editing and return to the Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box. Click Cancel to return to the Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box without making changes.
