Tips on Getting Started in MITA
Browse Efficiently in MITApedia
While browsing the alphabetical list of terms available in MITApedia use the search box to quickly jump to a term or area in the list. For example, if you’re looking for “Marcato,” just type the letters M-A-R in quick succession.
Hear Music within Overview or Jump to Page in Scores
On the first page of every Interactive Score, holding down the Shift Key while clicking on any location in the Overview takes you directly to that location in the score where the music starts playing automatically. Clicking on any location without the Shift Key pressed plays the music while staying on the page.
Navigate from Pages within a Score
Within an Interactive Score, clicking on “Go To” (in the lower right hand portion of the MITA window) brings up the same Overview that you see on p. 1. Keep your cursor within that frame and you can click and go immediately to any place within the score.
Jump to a Specific Page Number
In both the Listening Guides and the Interactive Scores, clicking on the name of the piece at the center of the lower Control Panel returns you to p. 1. Clicking on any page number within MITA produces a pop-up that allows you to enter the number of any page to which you would like to go.
Read Chinese?
In almost all of Books 3 and 4 of Eventful Story—and the corresponding Listening Guides and Interactive Scores—you can read MITA in Chinese! Just press Command+L on your Mac or Control+L on your Windows machine to read Chinese on all pages where it’s available. To return to English, just press the same keys again. You’ll see more and more Chinese in the coming months.
