6/17/2023 0 Comments Musescore change note duration![]() My gut feeling is graphical mode would appeal to the people who just want to write a single staff and melody more for personal use. But ask Marc said (in a post) some tasks are easier in temporal mode, and others are easier in graphical mode. I would speculate that the reason the majority of users do not use MuseScore this way is because MuseScore doesn't support it, not because people don't want it. I will use MuseScore to do this because it's better and more helpful than writing things with pencil and paper! This is how I do it, and I'm not saying it's "right or wrong" just to share my perspective. Let's face it, if I'm trying to save time and practice for a performance, I don't really care about a polished score, I'm just trying to get notes and I can (in my mind) know what the rhythm is. I would like to first enter the notes, and then change them apply the rhythm next. Perhaps others can do this in one fell swoop. ![]() Trying to figure out the rhythm and the notes and getting the notes in a measure (for me) is too much. When transcribing a melody, I almost always simply write the notes down. When I'm doing this, I'm using MuseScore like others have discussed namely 3djake, OCLC, haugeto, and SouLcRusaDer_kA. Instead, I've gotten tired of writing things in pencil and paper on blank staff paper and I want to use MuseScore to help me transcribe a solo, or something else. I'm not a music major and I have limited time that I can devote to music because of my job (software developer). I doubt I'll ever write a real score (for a performance), but it's nice to know that MuseScore supports this. I'm a Jazz Trumpet Player who enjoys music for fun. I'm late to this post, but wanted to respond. ![]() It would also be possible to insert (or delete) notes, which would increase (or decrease) the duration of the "non measured" fragment. In "non measured" fragments, change of a note duration would happen without affecting neighboring notes (the total time of the "non measured" fragment would thus change). In "measured" fragments, change of note duration would work as it currently works in MuseScore (when one note is modified, the time position of the other notes is not changed, as a side effect the next note may be deleted or a rest may be added, the total time does not change) Ideally, a preview should be provided in order to highlight where the measure bars will be inserted by the operation. This operation would add measures to that fragment. ![]() The user should be able to select a part of a "non measured" fragment and turn it to a "measured" fragment. This operation would remove the notion of measure from the chosen fragment and thus erase the mesure bars. The user should be able to select a part of the stave and turn it to "non measured". For reworking a part of a piece, it should be possible to change a selection from class "measured" to "non measured" and then back to "measured". In any case, both types of fragment would be allowed to appear in a piece. On the contrary, a short educational piece without measure could be one single "non measured" fragment. The traditional MuseScore would be just one single "measured" fragment. * A stave would comprise two classes of stave fragments, "measured" and "non measured". But if it stopped at the end of the measure, it really wouldn't work for what you are describing unless you only worked exactly one measure at a time, getting each measure right before entering the next. There's simply no way MuseScore could guess how many subsequent notes you want altered each time you chnge a note duration. The more I think about it, the more I see a measure-based insert mode being an easy thing but the "note first" method you describe being an impossibility to get right. But that would be disastrous if you started working on the rhythms somewhere other than at the beginning - work you did in the middle would be messed up by changes made at the beginning. But in order for what is being discussed here to work, it would really require more - perhaps even every note all the way the end of the piece should be shifted. Some would want only the very note affected. For instance, some people would want subsewuent s notes altered nly up until the end of the measure. This seems to be a reasonably popular request, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing such an option myself, but I am not sure if the specifics of how this might would would exactly fit this "note first" style of entry. If you search the forums, you'll find quite a bit of prior discussion of how an "insert mode" might work.
