How do I add a repeat sign, and double bar line to my notation view? How do I add the trill and firmata symbols to my print outs? How do I add slurs or tied notes to my staff?
Cakewalk is not intended as a replacement for full-featured music publishing software. You certainly can use Cakewalk to input and print out your music, but the
program’s main use is as a MIDI sequencer, and for recording and editing music. At this time Cakewalk does not support the repeat sign, double bar line, trill, and
firmata symbols. However, the crescendo and diminuendo signs, enharmonic spelling, guitar chord symbols, expression marks and pedal events are available in our
Cakewalk Pro Audio product. Also, Cakewalk Pro Audio will automatically place a double bar line at the end of your song.
Slurs are not available in Cakewalk. Notes are tied automatically when they extend across a measure boundary. You can create this manually by placing the first note
of the tie, right clicking, and increasing the note’s duration appropriately.
