Virtual Singer
Shaped notes singing
(Solmization)
|
With Harmony/Melody, you can
make notes to be displayed according to several shaped note notations (Aiken,Swan,Walker,
Funk, Johnson...)
Such a notation makes each note pitch match a
different head shape. This can be set up in the staff display mode (Staff>Staff
display mode).
When Virtual Singer is installed, notes are sung
with their standard names : Do (Doh), Re (Ray), Mi (Mee), Fa (Fah), Sol
(Sol), La (Lah), Si (See), for seven shapes notation. ( If no lyrics are entered for this staff).
With four shapes notation, note names are : Fa Sol La Fa Sol La Mi.
There are several slightly different ways to sing
shaped notes; Virtual Singer uses the most common in the U.S.
For example, some singers sing notes accidentals,
some others do not.
When a Shaped-note staff is included in a document, a little icon with
the sharp symbol appears on the Virtual Singer palette. You can click on
this symbol to toggle accidental singing.

Tip :
If you leave the Shift key depressed when music
starts playing, generated text appears, and remain linked to the staff.
However, once this operation has been performed,
moving a note on the staff won't change anymore the syllable to be sung. |
