Preferences
The sy.factory preferences are accessed via the Preferences ... option on
the View menu or the
sy.factory Application Menu on OS X, or the
button on the Toolbar.
Selecting this option opens a Tabbed dialog with the following tabs which group related
parameters:
To view and modify a set of parameters, click on the relevant tab.
Note: The options to copy referenced Objects with "parent" Objects
(e.g. moving Voices with Multis) work by:
-
Checking the destination file to see if the referenced Object exists
-
If it does then the parent Object is updated after being moved to
point to the existing Object in the destination file
-
If not then sy.factory checks to see if a blank or empty child
Object is present in the destination file (e.g. in the case of
moving a Voice, a blank "INIT VOICE" is looked for)
-
If a blank Object is found then the child Object is moved or copied
and the parent Object is updated after being moved to point to the
new Object in the destination file
-
If no blank Object is found then sy.factory gives up. Note this
may result in a Partial edit (e.g. it may have only been possible to
copy a subset of Objects due to the amount of free Objects in the
destination file)
-
The child Objects are only ever copied irrespective of whether the
parent Object is being moved or copied. This is to avoid the problem
that would occur when a child Object is moved (say a Voice with
Multi), where the source child Object (which would have been
initialised after the move) is also referenced by other Parent
Objects (e.g. another Multi)
All the above options are sensitive to what is being dragged. For
example a Multi Part, Multi Part Branch, Multi or
Multi Branch can be dragged and the necessary Objects will be
copied
