A riff can be dropped onto an existing ScorePart, or dropped onto an unused portion of the ScoreSheet, automatically creating a new ScorePart. The riff appears on the ScoreSheet as a rectangular block. Once dragged onto the ScoreSheet, Riffs can be stretched by dragging the right-hand edge of the riff block. Stretching causes the riff to be repeated some number of times. Modifiers Modifiers are graphical curves that change some aspect of the music over time.
Modifiers can greatly impact the sound of a riff.
Modifiers can be dragged from one modifier set to the modifier set of any ScorePart, riff block, or the entire ScoreSheet. Individual modifiers or modifier sets can be dropped on any open modifier set dialog, the name of any ScorePart, any riff block, or the ScoreSheet modifier icon. Included with MusicSketcher is a library of modifiers that can be used on a block, a ScorePart or on the ScoreSheet. If a modifier has been created that might be useful for other projects, drag the modifier from the Modifier Set to the Modifier Palette. Store this altered library with the Save command in the Modifier Palette's File menu.
