There are three ways to open a notation editor from the
3
<span class="application">Rosegarden</span> main window. (They all require that you
4
have some existing segments in the main window first,
5
so if you're starting a new composition, you should
6
create your segments before you start thinking about
9
<div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">Double-clicking on segments</span></dt><dd><p>The most obvious way is just to double-click on
10
a segment in the main canvas. This opens the segment
11
in whatever you have configured as
12
the default editor (notation, matrix, or event list),
13
and by default this is the notation editor. So
14
double-clicking a single segment will open it as a
15
single staff in a Notation editor window.</p><p>You can also open a multi-staff editor this way:
16
holding down the Shift key, select (with a single
17
mouse click) each of the segments on the main view
18
that you want to open, but double-click on the last
19
one. All of the selected segments will then be opened
20
together in a single notation window.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">The Open in Default Editor menu function (the Return key)</span></dt><dd><p>The Return key is a shortcut for the Open in
21
Default Editor menu function, which does much the same
22
thing as double-clicking: opens all of the currently
23
selected segments together in a notation editor, or in
24
whichever other editor you have configured as your
25
default. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">The Open in Notation Editor menu functions</span></dt><dd><p>Alternatively, you can use the main window's
27
Notation Editor menu function, either on
28
the Segments menu or on the right-button popup menu on
29
a segment in the canvas. Select the segments you want
30
to edit (by shift-clicking as above, or by using the
31
Select All Segments function) and
33
Notation Editor.</p></dd></dl></div>
36
If you have more than one staff (i.e. segment) visible in the notation
37
editor, only one of them can be "current" at once. The
38
current staff can be distinguished because it has the insert
39
cursor on it (see <a href="nv-rulers.html" title="Rulers and cursors">Rulers and
40
Cursors</a>), and this is the staff on which any editing
41
operations that use the insert cursor will take place. The
42
topmost staff is the current one by default, but you can
43
switch to a different staff by ctrl-clicking on it, or by using the

<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Cursor Down Staff</span></span> menu functions.
