Ghost Strokes
In percussion notation, parentheses around a note mean that it is a ghost stroke,
played very lightly and barely heard. SONAR supports ghost strokes by displaying
parentheses around any percussion note event with velocity less than 32 (a fixed,
arbitrary threshold). If necessary, you can adjust the Vel+ parameter of the track
and the velocities of the individual notes to effectively move this threshold without
changing the way the note sounds.
Printing
The Staff view provides printing support of standard musical notation in nine staff
sizes. The Staff view prints general project information from the File Info dialog
box (see “Labeling Your Projects” on page 199) at the beginning of the score,
including the song's title (or file name), subtitle (dedication), playing instructions,
author/composer, and copyright. In addition, SONAR identifies the tracks by
number and name, and numbers each measure and each page.
