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.

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.

Link int and ext video
When checked, settings for the internal display are automatically
mirrored to the external video monitor (provided the optional
VIF4 Video Interface board is installed).

TXT File
Text Follow
When linking a ".TXT" file to a Song, you scroll the text by using
the Text Down and Text Up assignable commands. Unlike the
reading of Lyrics events contained in a Standard MIDI File or
MP3 file, there is no automatic scrolling, that makes the current
verse start on top of the internal and the external display at the
same time.
Therefore, text shown in the internal display and in the external
video (with the optional VIF4 Video Interface board installed)
might begin with a different verse. This parameter lets you
choose the internal or the external display as the one that must
be perfectly lined.
