The Volume Change window is opened from the workspace with the following command:

Button	Menu
	Song-Volume Change

It allows you to make a change to the volume at the selected bar, or across the selected bar span.

Volume changes are always relative to the master volume specified in the song setup (or the mixer panel).  So, if the master volume is changed, the volume changes are proportionally adjusted to suit.

Master volume is displayed as a percentage, or as a Midi value, depending on your preference.  Volume change values must always be less than the master volume (ie.  they can only attenuate).

Controls

Bar

Specifies the bar (or bar span) over which the volume change should take place.  A gradual fade-out or fade-in can be achieved across a bar span in a single action using a Gradient To change.

The default span is taken from the selected range in the work sheet or staff sheet.

From Volume

Displays the prevailing volume at the start of the selected span in the song.  This is the starting volume for Gradient To changes if no Step To change is specified.

Step To

Specifies the new volume to establish at the start of the bar (or span).  If not specified, the prevailing volume at the start of the span will continue.

Gradient To

Specifies the volume to be in force at the end of the bar (or span).  The volume will be adjusted gradually across the span from the starting volume, which will be either the Step To volume (if specified) or the prevailing volume (if not).

Preview

Shows a preview of how the volume change will be indicated in work sheets.

OK

Closes the window and implements the volume change across the selected bar span.

Cancel

Returns to the workspace without making any change.
