Remember that multiple staves configurations – e.g. FF, GF, GGFF etc. – do not allow individual staff editing or respacing.

Within a poly, each voice can have its own time signatures, channel and tempo, so as to build polytemporal and metric structures. The score is then organized according to absolute durations.

To change the tempo or midichannel of a voice :
select the voice
enter a value or scroll the mouse up or down in the voice inspector.
To change the meter of a measure :
select it with the measure tool
enter values in the measure inspector.

Within a multi-seq, chord-seqs must be open in internal windows to be edited separately.
