More Annotation Options

The Annotations toolbar has changed to give you even more options for marking your
scores. A separate Tools Options Bar lets you set the pen width and color or font for
your annotations so you don't have to go through the step of selecting the right color
and pen width each time you want to use a particular tool in a particular way.

Changes in Landscape Mode

By default, when you use Landscape Mode to view a score, the music displays enlarged
and one system at a time. This can be helpful if you have vision impairments or if you
like to view your scores enlarged. You can also display the score without the system
breaks too. Finally, you can place two pages side by side. See
View Options" on page 66

Playback Toolbar

For scores purchased from the FreeHand Music Store, you can play a "bouncing ball"
MIDI file and watch the notes change color while the piece is played. You can also
transpose your music to a different key from this toolbar. See
page 99 for details.

Language Support

Support for Asian languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese)
allows Asian character annotations and file names to be entered and stored.

Premium Tools

Premium Tools, a separately purchasable item, adds new audio capabilities to your pad,
including a metronome, a pitch pipe, and an audio player that can play MP3s or MIDI
files. Additional colors and notations are also available to improve the look of your
annotations. See Chapter 9 for details.
