3.8. Use Sections

Use Sections

i. How to do it: in the Project, select the score node, then click the Create element button in the Toolbar. Optionally, customize the new Section name in the Editor.

ii. Hints:

• Section names are required and must be unique at any given time; if you need to swap two section names (e.g., swap Section A with Section B) use a temporary prefix (e.g., _Section B) to overcome this limitation. Or, if sections are empty and of same length, use the Nudge element... buttons in the Toolbar to move them around;

• at least one Section is needed for adding music to the score; using more Sections is optional, but helps to: — confine and better manage generated music, as generators accept one or more Sections as their output; — easily rearrange your piece, by nudging Sections around; — process larger areas in one go — e.g., you could apply the Transpose macro to an entire section.

• see the Section Node (jump: TODO) for more details.

DELETE SECTION

i. How to do it: in the Score, right-click a Section name and select Delete element from the contextual menu.

ii. Hints:

• before deleting a Section, you should make sure that there is no Generator set to write music into that Section. If there is, reroute that Generator's Output connections prior to deleting the Section, or unexpected behavior could occur. See jump: Generator Node for more context;

• see the Section Node (jump: TODO) for more details.
