Enforce Scale​

When Enforce Scale is enabled, only notes in the selected scale will be shown. When disabled, all notes will be shown, but notes that are not in the selected scale will be dimmed.

Overlap​

There is also an Align Root toggle within this menu. When enabled, the next row above, after the entire scale is completed, will realign with the root note.

This setting is independent of the layout configuration.
