note lengths

note lengths

2008-11-10 by David

Can anyone tell me how to tie two whole notes together in score so the
duration of the note is 8 counts?

The quickest way I've found to do this is to use the event editor,  
delete the second whole note and change the length of the first one to  
be 8 counts. Another way would be to use the glue tool in the piano  
roll and simply glue the two notes together. I nearly always have the  
event window open when creating scores for this reason...

Kind regards

I usually use a key command to merge the two notes. To make it exactly 8 
beats, I would stretch it out to 9 beats or whatever, then set the cycle locators 
to 8 beats, and then use a key command to snip the note to the locator 
position. then delete any bits before or after. In fact, often the note does not 
start at the beginning of the measure, so I move it ahead of the beat then stretch 
it big, then do what I said above.

thanks. you kind of lost me. where do you stretch the note? In the score or in one of the other editors? In case I wasn't clear in my original post what I want to do is make a note
that starts on beat one of a measure last for 2 measures.

sorry... i go to the piano roll (matrix) and move it to start before the 
first beat, then stretch it long, then set locators and snip using a key command. 
there might be some key command to quantize to beat too that might help.

In the score inspector, just double click on the "Length" value,  
enter in 2 (for 2 measures) and <return>.  If you had previously  
created a 2nd note on the 2nd measure that you were trying to tie to  
the 1st note, delete it.
