Complex Tuplets
Times
&POverture now handles two new complex tuplet figures: nested tuplets and tuplets
*6 containing different durations.
Nested Tuplets
gMNested tuplets are most commonly used to play the triplet figure depicted in
Figure
)>'. To create this nested triplet figure:
Helvetica
)K9Enter 1 eighth note, 3 sixteenth notes and 1 eighth note.
)KQUse the tuplet tool to convert the 3 sixteenth notes into a
3 in the time of 2
*2%tuplet figure (conventional triplet).
)KMUse the tuplet tool again to convert the eighth notes and the sixteenth note
*29triplet figure into a
3 in the time of 2
tuplet figure.
The Nested tuplet pattern in
Figure
results.
&QThe 3 sixteenth note triplets occupy the same amount of time as 1 eighth note of
*6Rthe triplet figure because the sixteenth notes were already a triplet figure when
*6?they were nested into the enclosing eighth note triplet figure.
Figure 2.8:
Nested and mix
ed dur
ation tuplet
gures
Mixed Duration Tuplets
gTOverture now allows a selection containing different durations to be converted into
*6Ra tuplet. The resulting durations are calculated as if each duration was the only
*6&duration being converted. For example:
)K9Enter 1 eighth note, 2 sixteenth notes and 1 eighth note.
)KUUse the tuplet tool to convert the entire 4 note passage into a
3 in the time of 2
*2%tuplet figure (conventional triplet).
The mixed duration tuplet in
Figure
results.
&RThe 2 sixteenth notes occupy the same amount of time as 1 eighth note of the trip-
*6Vlet figure because they were not triplets prior to their inclusion in the eighth note
triplet figure.

Punch
Krecording is a technique developed by recording studios to fix mistakes in

&FThose readers familiar with Keyboard Thru may proceed to the section,

E-What is
Keyboard Thru
and why is it useful?
fLThe most common setup for a MIDI computer system uses a single keyboard syn-
*76thesizer connected to a computer by a MIDI interface.
Figure
depicts this
simple arrangement:
Helvetica
Figure 3.8:
Simple MIDI con
ation with a k

er connected to a computer
)KGWhen the keyboard is played, sound is produced by it
s internal synthe-
*6Isizer. MIDI information is sent from the keyboard
s MIDI OUT jack to the
*6%computer through the MIDI interface.
)KGWhen MIDI information is sent from the computer through the MIDI inter-
*6Aface, into the keyboard
s MIDI IN jack, sound is produced by the
synthesizer.
&PThis simple arrangement allowing both the musician and the computer to play the
*6Nsynthesizer is not possible for MIDI instruments that don
t produce their own
onboard
sound such as wind, guitar, drum pad, and keyboard controllers. If such
*6Oa controller is connected to a sound module, and the sound module is connected
*6Qthrough the MIDI interface to the computer, then the undesirable condition illus-
trated by

occurs:

)KIWhen the controller is played, MIDI information is sent to the sound mod-
*67ule
s MIDI IN jack causing the module to create sound.
)KEThe sound module also transmits the MIDI information received at the
*63MIDI IN jack to the computer by the MIDI THRU jack.
However
The computer
CAN NOT
0 play MIDI information back to the sound module
&because the module
s MIDI IN jack has
ALREADY BEEN USED
by the
MIDI controller.
The Solution: Keyboard Thru
f%This problem is solved by Overture

feature. The correct config-
&%uration of devices is illustrated in

JMIDI information but also routes it back to the MIDI IN jack on the sound

E"Apply Import Options to All Tracks
Times
gSOption-clicking a track
s import options fields (Voices, Split, Quantize, and Tran-
*6Qscribe) applies that setting to the current track and all subsequent tracks. See
Figure
above.
Clef Import Option
fRThe type of clef desired for the imported track may now be assigned in the Import
*7UFile dialog box. The clef type is changed by single clicking in the Clef field. Each
*6Hclick changes the type between treble, bass, alto, tenor, and perc. See
Figure
above.
Percussive Tracks
+KdPTracks imported with the
perc.
(percussive track) clef type are now displayed
*6Qwith respect to the current drum map. The imported pitches are still played, but
*6Rthey are displayed on the percussive clef in the positions designated in the drum
map.
E Pop-up Menu for Import Templates
gPOverture now allows the creation of templates that facilitate importing similar
*6RStandard MIDI Files. Templates are created in an Overture score using any specifi-
*6Tcations useful for importing similar file types. The template score is usually, but
*7Tnot necessarily, empty of notes. For example, a drum track might be useful to store
*6Pin a template if other, non-percussive parts are being imported. The drum track
*6Qshould be kept in a track not mapped for import. Templates are commonly used for
*6Simporting files with similar instrumentation, key signatures, page layout, or clef
structure.
*hPIn the folder containing the Overture application, there is a Templates folder.
*7TInside the Templates folder, there is a new Import folder. Template files placed in
*6Kthe Import folder may be used when importing Standard MIDI Files or Vision
*60sequences. These files are displayed in the new
emplate
pop-up menu in the
Import File dialog box (
Figure
)?-). Select a template from the pop-up menu or
for no template.There is a file supplied with Overture called
Test Import
*68that can be used to examine the effects of this feature.
Avant Garde
Overture Supplement
*ew Features: Importing Standard MIDI Files
Optimize Staves Option
Times
gRWhen selected, this option suppresses the display of staves that contain no track
data. For example:
*iTAn import template is used that contains a bass and treble clef for a piano part on
*6Rstaves 6 and 7. However, the imported file contains just 5 tracks that map to the
*6Rfirst 5 staves. The bass and treble staves designated for the piano in the import
*6Otemplate are not displayed after the file is imported because no data has been
applied to them.
Zapf Dingbats
)h!Abbreviations for Imported Tracks
&FIf the track name in an imported Standard MIDI File is the same as an
Overture
&Itrack name, and an abbreviation has been designated for this track name,
Overture
&=automatically uses the appropriate abbreviation. For example:
*hUA track named
Flute
is imported to a track in Overture. If there already exists an
*6ROverture track named
Flute
with abbreviation
, Overture automatically uses
as the abbreviation for the imported track. If the name of the track isn't recog-
*6Onized, Overture uses the imported track
s full name instead of an abbreviation.
Improved Transcription
&PImported tracks undergo a much more rigorous transcription than in previous ver-
*6Rsions of Overture. Overture now justifies all measures and recalculates the score
*6Ofor each imported track. Information about the highest and lowest note in each
*6<staff is used to accurately adjust the space between staves.

Automatic Page Adjustment
&NThere are a few changes to the way Overture reacts when staves are added to a
*7Jscore such that the requested number of systems no longer fit on the page.
Auto Wrap Systems
fAIn previous versions of Overture, the General Preferences option
Wrap
was
disabled
by default. The
Wrap Systems
option is now
enabled
&Kby default. You may wish to make note of this on page 152 of the Reference
Manual.
Page Length
gQOverture now produces a dialog box to warn the user that it will lengthen a page
*6Tbefore it actually does so. Previous versions of Overture automatically reduced the
*6Qlength of a page when the number of systems per page was decreased in the Layout
Page dialog box. Overture
DOES NOT
+automatically reduce the length of a page.
&HYou may wish to make note of this on pages 154 and 358 of the Reference
Manual.
Avant Garde

*New Features: Text, Lyric and Page Layout
E1Changing Measures per System and Systems per Page
Times
gRIn previous versions of Overture, if the number of measures per system and/or sys-
*6Ntems per page was increased, the number of measures in the score would remain
unchanged. Now if the
All Remaining P
)[' option is selected in the Layout Page
&Ldialog box, new measures are generated to fill the currently existing pages.

Slash Chords with Doubled Root
gTSlash chords have an alternate bass note in the root position that differs from the
*6Pnote used to name the chord. A slash chord with a doubled root is a slash chord
*6Rwith it
s alternate bass note duplicated in the upper structure of the chord. For
*6Qexample, the slash chord C/B (B, C, E, G) is different than the slash chord with
*6Odoubled root CMa7/B (B, C, E, G, B). When creating or editing chord symbols in
*7Rthe Chord Symbol Library dialog box, the alternate bass note of a chord should be
*6Ndoubled only if the chord will contain the doubled note when entered into the

*hMThe Chord Symbol Library is discussed in detail on page 320 of the Reference
Manual.
