The Commands menu simply lets you bring up an important
reference list in the Key Commands window. Typing [shift-k] does
the same. The Key Commands Reference at the end of this Guide
describes each in detail. Since keystroke shortcuts greatly speed
using maxWerk, it's a good idea to refer to this list until reminders
are no longer necessary.

The Extras menu offers Quick Mutes, a handy window for
controlling play of multiple tracks manually when Automute is not
engaged. It also has handy editor window buttons and a key
command. From this menu you can also open the Idea window for
quick midifile recording from your controller keyboard, which has
access buttons in the Note and Drum Editors. The last menu item
brings up a complete Werk text Leadsheet. Read more about the
Idea track in Part II, and about the Leadsheet in the closing section
"Werk Files".

1.3 The Main Screen
Music is comprised of time segments or measures, and we'll call
them bars for brevity of labeling. maxWerk can store data for up to
128 bars. An important first decision in composition is how many
eighth-note beats or counts you want in a bar, and maxWerk's
Meter can be set at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 12 beats. You can make
your desired choice in the meter menu in the upper left section of
the Main Screen, which defaults to 8 eighth-counts. Meter governs
the eighth-note click of the metronome, which is provided purely for
guidance as you enter data while listening to your tracks, and which
you can switch in and out with a key command. Meter also
determines the automatically computed step resolution of two
special-purpose tracks. One of these is the Melody line, and the
other is Improv, where maxWerk "expresses itself" given constraints
that you can impose. We won't cover everything now about how
