Motif Properties

The following figure shows the Properties Window for a motif in the Style Designer window.

The window has the following tabs:

• Motif Tab

  This tab includes the following settings:

  Setting	Description
  Motif Name	Name of the motif. This name can be used by applications to retrieve the motif from the style.
  Length	Length, in measures. Click to set the length to a value from 1 to 999.
  Reset Variation Order on Play	If selected, variations play from the start of the cycle (as specified in the Play setting in the Part Properties) each time the motif is played. If not selected, the cycle picks up where it left off. There is no effect on playback of variations in random order.
  Start Time	Point within the motif at which it starts playing. Normally the first measure, beat, grid, and tick.
