Using a Midi Keyboard

If you have a MIDI keyboard attached to your computer you can enter music very quickly.

• In the Edit→Preferences dialog under Midi tab select your controller
• Switch your MIDI controller on before starting Denemo
• Play some notes – they should appear in the score
• Press a number key to select a duration – a yellowish-brown note of that duration appears
• Play in some more notes.
• Note that you can enter in more than one duration, then just play the notes over the top.
• The choice of pitch spelling (e.g. E-flat or D-sharp) is controlled on the MIDI-controls.
• The Modulation wheel can also change the set of accidentals.
• Augmented and Diminished instruments are played on a separate channel – this helps catch pitch spelling errors.
