Auditioning
Sometimes it is useful to listen to your music slowly, note-by-note, rather than at
full speed. For example, you may need to locate a bad note, or you may be trying to
learn the correct fingering for a difficult passage.
The Staff view has two features that let you audition your composition at reduced
speed: Scrub and Step Play. The Scrub tool lets you drag a vertical bar over the
staff, playing the notes as it goes. You can scrub backward or forward at any speed.
Step Play lets you step through the project note by note, in either direction.
To Audition with the Scrub Tool
1. Click the Scrub tool .
2. Drag the mouse horizontally through the Staff pane to play the notes.
SONAR plays any notes the scrub line passes over.
Tip:
You can also move the Now time pointer to the exact note by using the
Step Play buttons.
