The View Menu for CPN

I have added a "View" pull-down menu to CPN. The items on this menu are:

• Note data as text (All notes)-- This will pop up a detailed text version of the notes of the current phrase. You can't make any changes on that screen, but it will give you all the details of what is going on in your phrase and maybe what is fouled up if you are having trouble. This may also be useful if the current phrase is too long to display as notation on the CPN screen, you can see here what it contains.
• View phrase section (Zoom in) -- Because the capacity for display of CPN is limited, this feature will let you narrow your view to just one or a few measures. When you select this option, you then next type in the range of measures to be displayed. You enter these by starting measure number and number of measures. For purposes of selecting measures, the full phrase starts with measure 1. When you have zoomed in, you can edit the measures selected. It would be a very bad idea to change the key signature or rhythm of a piece while it is zoomed, however.
