hi, Can someone please tell me if can add staccato dots to notes using NC? Can't see where in menus it might be, and is not coming up in the Help menu.
thanks
regards to all

Hi, jss:

There is a quiet little icon to the left end of the ornamentations toolbar that will turn a note followed by an equal rest into a staccato note.

For instance, an eighth note, followed by an eighth rest, will be turned into a dotted quarter note. Very useful for long staccato passages, as you can select the whole passage and click the icon (or type R+period (r-dot)) to do the whole section at once.

As well as adding the ornaments manually.

Good luck.

David

Thanks,
That's a neat gem turning the note+rest into staccato.
