Notation Composer - Lead Sheet from Midi with 2 Melody Tracks (Duet)??

[Scooter]

Thanks Sherry C for your replies!

I will, of course, try out your suggestions to see if I can solve my little "problem". I'll read your replies a few time to digest them better, but the "Staff/Merge" command idea looks very promising!

Well, certainly no offence meant to Herbert - - and I DO understand that sometimes people are only trying to help, but tend to end up confusing the issue - at least for me. And as you say, I'm definitely a new-beginner and know very little about Notation Composer - and this is why I'm trying to keep things relatively easy, so that I can understand a) what I'm actually asking about - and b) what reply I'm getting. Naturally, I'm very impressed with what Herbert - and others - know about the many different features - and someday (in about 2 centuries!) I'll be an expert, too!

Until then, hopefully I'll be able to draw on Herbert's experience, should I need some further assistance.

Thanks Sherry C and Herbert - for your interest.

Cheers, Guys

Hi Scooter,

I do hope the suggestions help.

And you're learning the best way possible - just dive in and start playing around with it

You may find the Users Guide to be helpful as well - we really tried to write it with the goal of actually helping people get things done, rather than just say "This is the Copy command". The Index feature is pretty helpful. But that said, we do have a good and helpful community here that is always available (except when we're outside weeding the garden or out playing music somewhere ).

ttfn,
Sherry

Hi Again, Guys!

Yes, don't I just know about weeding and gardening! It's rained almost non stop here for the past 3 months, so the weeds have just exploded all over the place! A never-ending job....

Anyway, I finally got the spare time to try out your suggestion - the "Staff/Merge" command worked perfectly and I got what I was after. Next time, I'll try to choose a midi with just one melody track/staff!

Many thanks for the help - now to check out the actual chords and notation....

Cheers

Scooter
