Changing notes of entire score

I have a problem. The score I am editing has some measures of /64 notes and I need them to be /32's without changing the entire rhythm/melody of the score. I am working on Rhapsody in Blue. I convert to ABC notation and when I do I get the /64's broken into chords. With ABC I can change the average note length to the next one and it affects the entire score but can't do that when it gives me chords.

Does Composer have a way of doing this? 64's to 32's, 32's to 16's, 16's to 8's, etc? I tried changing the 5/4 time to 3/2, even 1/2 but that does't work. It still converts as /64's as chords. I need all the notes in each of the measures so removing some to upgrade to 32's doesn't work.

Hope you understand my problem and can help.

Hello Lennert,

There are two ways your question might be interpreted, as illustrated by two examples.

In the first example there is a group of eight 64th notes, each separated by a 64th rests. They occupy a total of 16 x 64th = one quarter note span. If you want to remove the 64th rests, and change each pair of 64th note and 64th rest to a 32nd note, just select all of the notes, and click the 32nd note button to change them to 32nd notes.

However, I suspect you might be asking for something different.

In the second example, there is a group of eight continuous 64th notes, without separating rests. They occupy a total of 8 x 64th = one eight note span. In this example, you want to change the 64th notes to 32nd notes, thus doubling their total span from an eighth note to a quarter note. Is that what you want to do? If so, there is currently no convenient way to do that in Composer.
