Step-time entry - unwanted rests

[Sherry C]

Hi,

The latest version 2.6.3 does improve on the behavior of Step Time entry, but there are some remaining quirks to improve.

A couple of things that we've found that help:

1. Don't use the Zoom feature while using Step-time - it throws off the cursor advancement (and leaves "gaps" which will then be filled with a rest )

2. Don't use the scroll wheel on the mouse during Step-time recording.

3. If a rest gets inserted that shouldn't be there, you can simply select the note to the right of the rest, and then press the Shift key on your keyboard along with the Left arrow button to shift the note back into its proper position.

Sorry for the remaining bother here.

ttfn,
Sherry

Cool! Not perfect, but "good enough for Rock & Roll"! That's much helpful.

Please, please try to get step time entries sorted so that unwanted rests do not appear. It's such a shame to have this problem in software which is otherwise so very attractive. It's been over a year now since I tried Notation Software, but I am still having to use my 'previous' program (no names !!) even after a long period of very curtailed musical activity. I'll soon be in my 80th year - I may not have much longer !!!! Best wishes to all.

We are actively looking for a developer or new owner after the unexpected passing of founder and developer of Notation Software, Mark Walsen. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are working to sort things out so that we can move ahead with development.

In response to learning of the passing of Mark Walsen, I wish all at Notation Software the best of all that may be towards achieving Mark's vision. Good luck. Stay determined.
