This is what you get in the More version of this window (you use the More button to show it).

Scale Notation and Number Options

Set the notation such as cents, ratios etc used for display of all scale values...

Also has various options to configure how other numbers (volumes etc) are displayed in Bounce Metronome.

Ratios Options (Ctrl + 56)

Options for display of ratios - factorise, lattice notation, etc.

Cents or small ratios (radio button) (Alt + R)

Options for display of ratios - factorise, lattice notation, etc.

Cents (radio button) (Alt + C)

Options for display of ratios - factorise, lattice notation, etc.

Hertz (radio button) (Alt + H)

Options for display of ratios - factorise, lattice notation, etc.

Pure decimals (radio button) (Alt + D)

Options for display of ratios - factorise, lattice notation, etc.

Show 1/1 (check box)

Select this to show the 1/1 at the start of the scale...

The SCALA convention is to leave out the 1/1. It will get played automatically and any scale is assumed to start at the 1/1. If you want a scale that starts at another pitch rather than the 1/1, for instance for the Thai seven tone modes, do it as an arpeggio and miss out degree 0.

Occasionally one may want to start the scale with repeating 1/1s. Since that is unusual, normally any repeats of the 1/1 at the start of the scale get ignored when you choose to hide the 1/1.

To make sure that they repeat with the 1/1 hidden, put an at sign (@) before the first one that repeats.

Scale as steps (check box)

Shows the scale intervals as steps from each note to the next...

When unselected, shows the intervals from the 1/1

Calculator (Ctrl + 81)

Use this for calculations - with special options useful for scales work

Max. digits after decimal point for (nearly) all numbers in Bounce metronome (editable) (Alt + G)

Use this for calculations - with special options useful for scales work

Max. digits after decimal point for (nearly) all numbers in Bounce metronome (spin) (Alt + G)

Show Approximate ratios (check box) (Alt + W)

Use this for calculations - with special options useful for scales work

Volumes as (drop list)

How to show volumes - choose which range is most useful...

Choose how to show volumes throughout Bounce Metronome.

The note volumes are actually sent to your soundcard or synth as Midi velocities. These have a range of 0 to 127 for the maximum velocity, which is the reason for including 0 to 127 as an option here.

Click + drag number incr (check box)

CLICK on a number almost anywhere in Bounce Metronome, and DRAG the mouse up or down. Make sure you drag the mouse right out of the text area - and the number will adjust up or down accordingly. Keyboard shortcut Page Up or Page Down....

It's done like that to make sure that it only happens when intended, and not during normal highlighting and editing of the number.

When there are several numbers in the same text box, click on the number to change, and use CTRL + DRAG.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcut: to adjust the numbers from the keyboard use PAGE UP / DOWN. For several numbers in the same text box, use CTRL + PAGE UP / DOWN.

Other features

SHIFT + DRAG to change by 10s, ALT + DRAG by 100s, SHIFT + ALT + DRAG for 1000s. Caps lock physically held down has same effect as Alt.

You can also use this with the keyboard shortcuts.

Drag after a DECIMAL POINT to change only the part after the decimal point (again you can use it with Shift, Alt or both). Similarly for RATIOS, you can adjust the numbers separately with a click + drag on each number in the ratio.

Show ratios as factorisation, e.g. 36/25 as 2^2*3^2/5^2 (check box) (Alt + W)

Tip of the day - Scales category - right click for neighbouring windows...
