Default Re: Video tutorials - let's make a list!

Hi friends,

Here's the current status on tutorial videos. Please note that the order of topics is not necessarily the order they will get done in
Done - Setting up your workspace - menus, (moveable) toolbars, palettes, playlists

Done - Transcription options - what are they, why do they matter, and how do I change them for opening a file or for recording a new file. (and re-transcribing after opening a file)

Done - Lyric entry - How-to guide for syllable-by-syllable Maybe a trouble-shooting guide as well.

Done - Lyric entry - copy/pasting from text files, and multiple verse entry.

Done - Lyric editing - changing font, size, etc.

Done - Transpositions - explanation of the two different types (Actual pitches/instrument transpositions), and how to do each.

Note entry methods - show each one, including changing pitch and accidentals
Done - 1. using a mouse
2. Step-time recording
3. "live" time recording - and mention with or without metronome

Page Layout for printing - "One suggestion I have for the 'wish list' is a tutorial on setting up the printed page .... page size, page breaks, page titles etc. Kind Regards .... Richard"

Creating an upbeat measure (could use a better video than the one on YouTube)

Music symbols in the score

Using the Rebar feature - recording a new file or using a "found" file recorded without a metronome, and then fixing the barlines to give usable sheet music.

Two-hand recording in Notation Composer, and splitting hands for keyboard staves for easy two-hand piano parts.

Creating Piano reductions from multi-instrument files.

Graph Over Notes - using this feature to affect the performance of a file, eg. for creating backing tracks or for demonstrating what your performance annotations are intended to do to the performance of the piece by real musicians.

Saving/exporting filetypes (and "printing" PDFs)
Parts - what is the difference between "part" and "staff", and how to create parts.
If you have suggestions, please feel free to make them

ttfn,
Sherry
