Custom tune options

Press Options to do one of the following:

Tempo opens the tempo pop-up box with a new set of commands. Tempo is measured in beats per minute. To alter the tempo, use backspace and enter a new value in the box.

To accept the tempo, press OK.

To test the tempo, press Test. The tune will be played with the tempo shown in the entry field. To use the default tempo (150 beats/ min), press Default.

Clear tune deletes the tune shown on the staff. Undo changes restores the tune to what it was

before editing.

Editing a custom tune

To edit the tune, press Edit. In the editor, an arrow appears at the bottom of the screen, indicating the currently selected note or rest. An empty space may be inserted in the tune by pressing the space bar. Empty spaces do not affect the tune. The cursor can be moved with the Left and Right commands or the left and right arrow keys.

To create a rest, note or alter the note’s pitch: Press the up and down scroll (or arrow) keys. Each press up or down changes the note’s pitch or creates a rest. A rest will appear after all possible note levels have been scrolled through.

To alter the length of the selected note or rest: Press Duration. Choose sixteenth note, eighth note, quarter note (default), half note or whole note. Press the command button until the value you want is shown.

Note: Although you compose tunes in the Extras application, the settings for the commu- nicator sounds are found in the System application, under Settings, System sounds.

Composer

While in the editing mode, you can use the

following shortcuts:

Enter	Plays the tune.
	Inserts an empty space to the
Spacebar	left of the cursor. Moves all
	following notes to the right.
	Deletes the selected note or
Backspace	rest. Moves all following
	notes to the left.
Period (.)	Lengthens the duration of
	the note or rest by half.
Colon (:)	Staccato (makes the note
	clipped, or short).
Hyphen (-)	Inserts a rest.

For quick composing, press the corresponding letter key on the keyboard to generate a note. For example pressing C generates the note C. When you press Shift and the corresponding letter key, a sharp note is generated, e.g. Shift + D generates D-sharp.

Menu

When you press Menu in the Composer main view, the following options become available:

Copy — Copies a tune.

Delete — Deletes a tune.

Rename — Allows you to write a new name into the input field.

Send as SMS — Opens up the SMS directory where you can select a recipient for the compo- sition. To send the composition, press Send.

When you receive a composition, a note showing the name or number of the sender and the name of the sent composition will appear on the display. When you press Accept, the composition is added to the list of tunes. Press Cancel if you want to discard the composition.

Note: If you receive several compositions at once, they cannot be accepted or discarded indi- vidually. You may delete them individually once you have accepted them together.
