Manage Bars

Gadwin Rockmer automatically adds the bars and provides synchronization between the tracks of the score. This strict synchronization is needed for proper sound rendering of the score and it can also be educational at the same time.

In Rockmer, each bar has the same properties on all tracks. So, a bar will have the same time signature on the track 1 as on track 2. When adding a repeat open, a repeat close is automatically made on all the tracks. The musical coherence of the score is therefore guaranteed, and playing the score will give the desired result.

On the other hand, you must define each track completely. It's not possible to create a hundred-bar guitar track, and a percussion track with only one bar played looped. You will have to reproduce the percussion bar on the 100 bars by using Copy/Paste.

The use of the Bar->Add Bar... or Bar->Delete Bar menus will insert or remove bars on all tracks. The Bar->Clear Bar menu allows you to empty one or more bars on the active track or on all tracks.

Rockmer: clear selected bars

Rockmer automatically manages bar lines. When you move the edition cursor to the right, it changes bar automatically is the duration of the current bar corresponds to the time signature chosen (for example 4 beats for a 4/4-time signature). If the bar is not full, Rockmer creates a new beat, with the same duration as the previous one.
