Convert Tie Command

[rrayner]

I've lost a "how to". I'm certain that I've used the "qct" command to convert a dotted half note (3 beats) tied to an eighth note to a doubly dotted half note (3 and-a-half beats). I know I've done this, so it probably means the command syntax is something other that qct. I've scoured to User Guide and can't find my memory.

Attached is a VERY simple example of tied notes that I want to convert.

Hi, Ralph:

I think the command is just 'ct' rather than 'qct'.

Mark had run out of 'q' combinations by then, I guess.

All the best.

(Just did a check and it is 'ct'.)

Thank you, David. That indeed the trick. RRR

Hi guys,

David, thanks for confirming that for Ralph.

This is not a "q" command shortcut because it is specific for the palette (Notes/Ties) and only applies to the item that is selected, in this case the tie. In other words, you have to have a tie selected (which switches the palette tools) for the "ct" shortcut to effect any change to the tie.

Just a note that these types of shortcuts can be displayed in the tool tips if you hover your mouse over the buttons in any given tool palette.

ttfn,
Sherry
