You can set the following preferences for the perspectives:
Here you have the possibilty to bind actions to a certain perspective. You can specify which perspective shall present the results of a calculation or, respectively, in which perspective a certain action shall be performed. Depending on the action performed, the perspective switches automatically. If you do not want to bind a certain action to a perspective simply select "No Perspective Binding". In this case, the action will be performed in the currently active perspective.
Here you can specify whether or not the current selection (chord or scale) shall be cleared after changing the perspective. This setting might be useful since it might cause confusion when, for example, a previously selected chord appears in the newly selected Scales Perspective.
