6/28/2023 0 Comments Musescore change note duration![]() And if it's really just such a shortcut, the implementation might be relatively easy.Īs Marc says, that's just not how MuseScore works. ![]() It's still probably only a shortcut for cut and paste, but shortcuts have value. ![]() But if the material being shifted is long or complex, this would be a real gain. For a shift right, the right end of the selection would be lost, the amount lost being the amount of the shift. Select exactly what needs changing and command the shift. ![]() That's why I'm thinking the best way might be "shift selection". Do you shift only the current voice, all voices on the staff or part, or all parts? How much do you shift? Only the current measure? The rest of the piece? It may not matter when entering at the end of current data, but if you are entering in the middle of an already-notated piece, shifting all the way to the end could be a terrible choice. I can see the potential complications of an unrestricted shift left/right, whether by explicit command or by changing the value of a note or inserting or deleting a note. This would mostly be just a shortcut for cut and paste. I could see something like a "shift right" or "shift left" applied to a selection. I also might forget to shift when entering an additional note. If the first eighth note is a rest, I'm likely to forget it. Thus if I forget one note, I may enter several before I notice, enough that it would be very useful to be able to just shift them. Due to the unavoidable complexity of entering notes, I'm usually looking at the keyboard and not the screen. I'm not TheBigH, but I can tell you how it's happened in my limited use so far. Not the most obvious route, but might work if I get the durations right in the playing. After all, I can just play the MIDI keyboard into a DAW and then export the result as a MIDI file into MuseScore. I thank everyone again who answered me as the answers allow me to be clear about what I can, and cannot, use MuseScore for at present and look forward to seeing how it goes in the future.Īnd, thinking about it, I'm not sure how much of an issue it will be for me personally. These are just ideas about what I would like to see for my own usage, but appreciate they may not fit in with the developers' vision. It might also be possible for accuracy in this to be tweaked for each individual, either using a metronome setting or by using a simple training piece. I would note that if my suggestion above were possible, then errors arising from this would not really be problematic since correction would be straightforward. To get back to the MIDI keyboard, my ideal would be to use both hands to play and for the program to score both duration and pitch from that. One possibility would be to have an option to switch off the function that 'full' for the duration of editing and having it parse the whole score at the end. Usability requires that duration be as easily changed as pitch however the original entry was made. Getting the duration of each note right first time, is practicable for simple transcription, but not so good for composing or arranging or rearranging where thoughts may be fluid and still in the process of developing. Thank you lasconic and ceegers for the information on the current limits of MuseScore and the best way of using a MIDI keyboard for inputting. It waits until I click a fix/alignment option. Music time doesn't add unwanted rests nor does it delete notes while I'm in the process of editing individual note durations. The sheer volume notes that need fixing is severly hampered by musescore inserting unwanted rests and deleting notes. This means many of my notes have to be fixed after the fact. I want to stay in the creative process and capture the meolody and then clean up the notation later. While I'm composing a song (using my right brain, creative process), I don't want to have to worry about the rhythm and notation syntax (left brain organizing, logic and sorting) intiially. For example, in Music Time deluxe (I'm playing with various trial versions of notation software) when I play in notes from my midi key board, I'll have to go and edit many notes and their durations manually. I had hoped for a better duration editing option than copy and paste. I find this a very inefficient and time consuming process. Yes, I figured out how to insert a measure and insert copy and paste.
