The Toolbar Palette contains commands in the form of buttons as a shortcut to some of the more common operations you'll want to perform on tones, chords, and scales. Click on a button or use a key equivalent to enact the command. Add three notes to the chord beginning with the Scale Note. The notes are added in Third intervals. (For example, if you select a D triad in the C scale you get a Dm chord with the tones D - F - A.) FretPet plays the triad as an arpeggio.
Add the entire Current Scale to the chord. FretPet will play a linear progression of all the notes in the resulting chord, beginning with the root of the Current Key.
Transpose the Current Chord to a new root that you click on. If the Current Chord isn't empty, clicking the Transpose button changes the pointer into an arrow with a key alongside it. You can then click a tone in the Scale Palette, Guitar Palette, Circle Palette, or Piano Palette to change the root of the Current Chord to a new note. All the other notes will retain their positions relative to the new root. Note that you can hold down the mouse button (in most places) to continuously transpose the chord to new keys. Useful when you want to try various transpositions without repeatedly clicking the Transpose button. Clear the Current Chord.
Click to Undo or Redo the last operation.
Insert the Current Chord into the Chord Bank. If no bank is open then one will be created for you. Note that once you have a bank open this button merely duplicates the Current Chord.
Click Hear to listen to the Current Chord. This button acts differently depending on the status of the Current Chord. There are 3 possibilities:
Click here to stop any sequences that are playing.
Start playing the selected range of chords in the Chord Bank. If there is no range selected then play begins at the first chord and continues until the end of your progression.
When this button is turned on the play range will repeat indefinitely until you press Stop or until you turn looping off and the sequence reaches its end. To have FretPet light up notes and automatically move through the document as your sequence plays, click this button. Unless the Pencil Button is turned on you will not be able to perform any actions within the document window during playback. Free Editing (Pencil Button) <F> This button gives you complete freedom of movement and editing while your sequence is playing. This makes composition more flexible and allows you to test various orders of play before committing to them. It also makes it possible to "perform" with FretPet as if it were an electronic instrument. You may turn this on any time to gain this ability. When Free Editing is turned on the Play function behaves differently: Play always begins at the Current Chord. It does not automatically advance through your song. However, if you turn off this option your song will resume normally.
