• Reads the MIDI notes out of the Parts/Tracks.
• Looks at the settings you have made.
• Decides how the MIDI notes should be displayed according to the settings.
Score settings
Score Edit takes MIDI data and settings as input and produces a Score as output.
Score Edit does all this in real time. If you change some of the MIDI data (for example by moving or shortening a note) this is immediately reflected in the score. If you change some of the settings (for example the time signature or key signature) this is also immediately apparent.
You should not think of Score Edit as a drawing program, but rather as an “interpreter” of MIDI data.
