Song title
Name of the Song.
Tempo
Current Tempo of the Song (in BPM, Beats Per Minute).
Staff
The selected track is shown as traditional music notation.
Depending on the content of the track, either notes or chords are
shown. Pa300 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: Pa300 automatically quantizes to 1/16 notes, detects trip-
lets, avoids note overlaps, correctly notates syncopation, and
draws beams according to the time signature. In addition, spac-
ing and measure length are dynamic, and single, double and end
measure 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.

sing it.
Hint: The "Melody Mute" function, that can be assigned to the
footswitch, allows for muting the melody track of a Song (default:
Track 4, see "SMF Melody Track" on page 153). If your song has
the melody part assigned to the same track, you can mute or
unmute it by using the footswitch.
