The application supports three top-level views, as shown below. Each view is optimized for a different stage of the polymeter composing process.
| View | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Track | Use for composing tracks. This is the most feature-rich view, with an entire chapter devoted to it. |
| Song | Use for arranging tracks into a song, or refining an arrangement that was recorded while performing in Live view. |
| Live | Use for live-arranging or performing with tracks. The performance can be recorded as a sequence of dubs, and the resulting arrangement can be refined in Song view. |
To switch between the different views, use the View menu's Track, Song, and Live commands or their keyboard shortcuts. Normally only one view is shown at a time. To show multiple views at once, split the view area into two or more tab groups.
Song Mode
Which view is shown can affect playback. If song view is shown, the sequencer operates in song mode, which means that tracks are automatically muted and unmuted to reflect the arrangement. If multiple views are shown, which view is active determines whether song mode is in effect. When you enter song mode, the track mutes snap to appropriate states based on your position within the song.
