Question

Have the sustain pedal signs on the score editor any effect on the midi?

Hi All,

Whilst working on the score editor I realized I wanted to get rid of the sustain pedal markings without of course affecting the midi playback. Perhaps deleting the pedal sings from the score has no effect on the playback but I need confirmation (of course I need the sustains to perform... just dont want to see them at this stage on score.. too messy)

Thanks for reading.

If you like the sound of the playback, but not the score display, you can usually get the desired result by changing some of the settings in the Display Parameter box, in the different +Song Settings+ dialog windows, or +Note Attributes.+ You can control the display even further by selecting or creating +Score Styles, Instrument Sets,+ and +Text Styles,+ which best fit your music.

_Global Format_
Here you can find the settings for page margins, spacing between notes, slanting of beams and format settings.
This window can be opened by:
• Layout > Global Format…
• Key command Settings: Global Format
• Double-click on the page margins in Page Edit view

_Default Pedal Position_
This determines the vertical position of pedal symbols which are created and displayed automatically when you use the MIDI sustain pedal during a real time recording. +If this parameter is set to zero, the recorded MIDI sustain pedal controller events will be hidden in the score.+
