Muting Parts for a Particular Division

You can mute the sound of particular Parts in specific Divisions.

For instance, you can sound all parts when in Variation (the Variation accompaniment pattern), or mute out Accompaniment 2 and Accompaniment 3 when in Original (the Original accompaniment pattern). This has the effect of making the accompaniment more lively when you change the accompaniment pattern from Original to Variation.

For more about Division, see “The Makeup of a Style” (p. 134).
