instead. (For this to happen, the "Lyrics/Score Balance Link"

Staff
The selected track is shown as traditional music notation.
Depending on the content of the track, either notes or chords are
shown. Pa800 takes care for you of 'cleaning-up' the score, so
that it is always easy to read.
Several automatic operations are carried on to clean-up the
score: Pa800 automatically quantizes to 1/16 notes, detects trip-
lets, avoids note overlaps, understands syncopation, and draws
beams according to the time signature. In addition, spacing and
measure length are dynamic, and single, double and end mea-
sure bars are automatically added.
If a KeySign (Key Signature) event is found at position
'001.01.000' of the Song's Master track, the correct key signature
is also shown.
Currently selected staff marker
This red vertical line shows the approximate position of the play-

Play/Mute
Use this button to let the selected track play, or to mute it. If the
track is muted, the score is still shown, so that you can play or
sing it.
Hint: The "Melody Mute" function, that can be assigned to an
assignable switch, footswitch or EC5 pedal, allows for muting the
melody track of a Song (default: Track 4, see Song Play > Prefer-
ences > Track Setting > Melody). If your song has the melody part
assigned to the same track, you can mute or unmute it by using this
button, or the assigned switch/pedal.
