Foreword
|
 |
A movement is a part of a work delimited in time.
Not to be confused with the movement (tempo) which
refers to the speed of execution of the work.
Movements allow the musical work to be divided
into several parts that can be accessed or played
easily.
Movements are reserved for Harmony Assistant.
How to define a movement?
|
| |
1. In the barline tool palette, you have a tool
for adding a movement. Activate it and click on
the measure where the movement ends. The name of
the movement will be requested.
or
2. In the repeat symbols management box (Score
Menu>Break symbols), add a break with the
action "End of movement." A predefined entry is
found in "Type." Typically, the end of movement
symbol is a music end barline, but this is not
mandatory. The measure number specifies the last
measure of the movement, the text is the name of
the movement.
The name of the movement is displayed only if the
control handles are shown; it does not print

MusicXML Export/Import

Movements are not managed by the uncompressed
MusicXML format. They are exported and imported by
Harmony via private markers. PDFtoMusic PRO
recognizes and exports movements.
Table of contents
|
| |
If you insert a free text object, for example on a
dedicated page at the beginning of the score (File
Menu>Printing Options), the $XML command displays
the list of movements.
You can configure the display:
$XML: Display the list of movements in standard
format
$XML[xxxx]: Display the list of movements in a
special way. xxxx can contain texts or commands. $I
displays the movement index, $N its name, $S and $E
the start and end measures, $P the page index.
$XMNnnn: Display the name of the movement of index
nnnn, the first one being 1
$XMNnnn[xxxx]: Display information about the
movement of index nnn. xxxx can contain texts or
commands. $I displays the movement index, $N its
name, $S and $E the start and end measures, $P the
page index.
$XMP: Name of the movement(s) present on the current
page
$XMC: Name of the movement(s) starting on the
current page
Here is an example of what you can automatically
obtain:
For example, the command $XMC in a footer will add
the name of the movement starting on that page. If
there are multiple movements, a list of names
separated by commas will be provided.
