You can input and record notes at either sounding pitch or written pitch; for example, if you want to record notes at their sounding pitch in transposing part layouts.

In concert pitch layouts, written pitch and sounding pitch are the same.

Procedure

In Write mode, choose one of the following input pitch settings:
  • To input/record notes at their written pitch, choose Write > Input Pitch > Written Pitch.

  • To input/record notes at their sounding pitch, choose Write > Input Pitch > Sounding Pitch.

Result

The resulting pitch notated or recorded is changed. For example, if you input a C in a Horn in F transposing part layout with the input pitch set to Sounding Pitch, the note is written as a G.
