If you have successfully downloaded and installed Scorch, and can view your music, you will notice that just above the sheet music on screen there is a Toolbar. This allows you to interact with the sheet music. For example, you can usually Play an audio clip of the sheet music, or even Transpose it to another key.
|
Note: Our Guitar and Bass Tablature sheets do not have the Transposition option enabled as they are note-for-note transcriptions.
|
In some cases you can print the first page as a sample. This is a good idea to check your printer is set up correctly.
