(1) I have been using Midinotate 4.0.9 quite extensively to make piano arrangements from midi files. Often, to do this, I find it convenient to denote all notes in one part as 'upper voice' and then all denote all notes in an adjacent part as 'lower voice' and than move the notes from the upper part to the lower. That gives a cleaner score than the 'merge' function. As far as I can see I can only select the notes in the parts by running a cursor over them individually. Is there any way I can select all notes in a part with a single operation? (2) I use Midinotate with Win95. I often find that when I add braces to parts for printing and save, on reloading, the braces do not appear on the top system of each page (or print) and the only solution for this is to repeat the 'add braces' operation and then undo it.

Phillip, I don't think MidiNotate has the feature that you are asking for, but let's make sure I understand what that feature would be. You might select a region of the score with Ctrl+drag. Then there would be a Select Upper/Lower Voice Notes command that selects just the notes in the upper or lower voice. Is that what you'd like? I'm a little confused about what you are trying to accomplish? I assume you want to end up with a piano part with RH and LH staves. I assume you are starting with a MIDI file in which the one or more tracks are not already arranged as RH and LH tracks (staves). Are you familiar with the Split Hands command? MidiNotate can get you pretty close to a good distribution of notes between the RH and LH. Use the Merge Tracks command to combine any tracks for the piano into a single track. Then use the Split Hands command to split the notes back out to RH and LH staves. I haven't heard of this bug before. Does it happen with every song (.not) file? If it happens only with a particular .not file, I'd appreciate your sending it to me at markwa@notation.com. Cheers -- Mark (the developer of MidiNotate) | ||

Thanks for your response. (1) I use Midinotate to produce readable piano reductions of popular songs which I can then use for 'lounge' piano playing. I certainly do use the 'split hands' command. The problem I sometimes come across is that I can end up with a melody hidden in sustained cords with lots of ties, that can be hard to read. By aiming to separate the parts on the score, it can often appear much simpler to read. I will send you some examples of my process so you can see what I am aiming at. (2) I will send you a sample of a file which I have had this problem with. Phillip Sear |
