Staves Properties
This tool extends and replaces the mixer board tool.
It opens a window which contains, for each staff, 2 tabs ('General/Visual' and 'Midi/Instrument').
Each tab combines 2 tabs of the 'Staff Properties' in NWC.
Now you can set the properties for all staves in the same window.
Some differences with the NWC program:
- In the 'General/Visual' tab, I added a checkbox 'Visible', wich correspond with checking/unchecking a staff in the tab 'Contents' of the 'Page Setup' window in NWC.
- The 'Predefined instruments...' dialog in the 'Midi/Instrument' tab not only shows the names of the instruments contained in the current instrument tree file, but also the associated properties (patch, bank, transposition and dynamic velocities. The values of these properties will be set when selecting an instrument.
In NWC, these properties are not shown, but selecting an instrument will store these properties in the staff. So the behavior of selecting an instrument is the same for this tool and NWC.
