Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box
How to get there
Choose Utilities > SmartMusic
Markers.
What it does
Use this dialog box to add SmartMusic performance
markers to your music while creating a SmartMusic accompaniment file.
These markers control how SmartMusic responds to performance characteristics
such as pauses (fermatas, tenutos), tempo changes, repeated sections,
and Intelligent Accompaniment level. See SmartMusic
Performance Markers for details.
The options here are shortcuts for adding
SmartMusic markers to your score with Expressions manually. To do this,
use the Playback tab in the Expression designer to define the marker
(see To
add SmartMusic performance markers as expressions). For a description
of each SmartMusic marker, see SMS Markers in Finale
Libraries.

dialog box you see a list of SmartMusic Marker types. Choose a marker
type and then click Add to add a marker of that type to the document.
See SmartMusic Performance
Markers for a description of each marker.

This slider is available when Intelligent Accompaniment is chosen in the
Marker List, and a marker of this type is selected in the Marker window.

level, or to the left to decrease the Intelligent Accompaniment level.
0 = No Intelligent Accompaniment (soloist follows accompaniment entirely),

Click the Set button to set the selected marker to the level indicated
on the slider. The default SmartMusic setting for Classical repertoire,
for example, is 2; Romantic repertoire, 5.
