Setting MUSIC Preferences

Introduction

The Settings tab allows you to manage various settings in music. The Preferences button (as shown in Toolbar and Menu Items) allows you to manage music preferences. In particular, you can change simulation and display options for music.

 Clicking on this button displays the Preferences dialog, showing MUSIC's default settings:

The checkboxes allow you to enable or disable a particular setting. 

Warm-up simulation for source nodes

Specify a ‘warm-up period’ for source nodes of a rainfall runoff model. When enabled, this option will ‘pre-run’ the rainfall-runoff model for the first 12 months of the simulation period, in order to equilibrate the initial storage states (pervious area and groundwater) in the model. The warm-up option will only operate when the total period of simulation is greater than 12 months. 

Node Ctrl+Double Click Window

This is a keyboard shortcut, which is described in detail next. You can choose which statistic to display for a particular node using the appropriate drop down menus. 

Keyboard shortcuts

You can use various keyboard shortcuts that are available within music to navigate easily through it. The table below provides more information. Note that the resulting actions occur on the current active music model.
