Inserting And Using The Custom Symbols


In the Tool bar under the additional groups (I) and (II) you can add your own custom symbols.

To do this, click with a depressed Shift key on a symbol area. The following dialog opens:



You can load any bitmap file (file ending .bmp) and you can adjust the desired size . Bmp files can be produced with every graphic program.


Note: More pixels the exit file has, the print-out is better!


You can use the new symbol like all other Symbols.


Musical playback of ornaments (play Pattern as musical content for certain ornament)


Since Octava SD10 is possible to definite and assign the custom pattern as musical content for playing back of certain ornaments.


For this a sample file must be prepared with the corresponding notes before.

This can be then loaded in the dialog above.

Include a sound sequence. Mark these and store the phrase as samples.

There are the following possibilities in addition:

Enter your pattern. Mark these and change to "cue" notes. Store the phrase as pattern.


  1. Color the notes in green which should always recur (trills)
  2. Color a note in red. This is played by the ornamentation as long as held out (for example by ).
  3. Store (save) the pattern as cue-notes so that this isn't adapted to a current scale but is played as noted down by you.

Load the tutorial samples Ornament1 to Ornament5 to look at corresponding examples.
