Notation Display Track Settings Options
From the Track pop-up menu, select the track you want to configure.
From the Clef pop-up menu, select the Clef you want for the selected track from the following options:
From the Key pop-up menu, select the key of Transposition for the track. For instruments that transpose from another octave, you can also adjust the Octave slider. For example, for a Bass Clarinet track, select the Key of B-flat and set the Octave slider to +1. This way, when you print the Bass Clarinet part, the player will be able to read the part and concert pitch will sound correctly a major ninth below where the part is written.
The Attributes tab lets you specify the notation display quantization settings for the selected track. If the Clef is set to Grand Staff, you can also set the Split Point to divide notes between the treble and bass clefs.
When the Follow Globals option is selected, the track attributes use the global attributes settings (see Globals). This option is enabled for all tracks by default.
The Display Quantization setting lets you select the quantization grid for the display of MIDI notes in music notation. MIDI notes in Pro Tools still maintain their original start time and duration, but this setting affects what note values are displayed. The notation display is quantized to the nearest select note value.
When enabled, the Straighten Swing option causes “swung” notes to be displayed as straight notation. For example, a run of swung eighth notes will be displayed as straight eighth notes.
Pro Tools only displays a single rhythmic line on a single staff. When two notes that start at different times overlap, the first note will be truncated when the second note begins. If the Allow Note Overlap option is enabled, Pro Tools displays the full length of overlapping notes using tied notes.
When the Clef for the selected track is set to Grand Staff, the selected Split Point setting determines at which pitch the notes are placed in either the upper or lower staff of the Grand Staff.
When selected, Pro Tools splits notes between the upper and lower staves of the Grand Staff based on logical note groupings.
When selected, you can specify a particular pitch at which to split notes between the upper and lower staves of the Grand Staff.
The Globals tab provides the same settings as the Attributes tab (see Attributes). You can select which tracks follow the settings in the Globals tab in the Attributes tab for each track.
