Tip: Double or halve durations of selected notes

by | Feb 2, 2021 | Tutorials | 2 comments

 

    1. Quickly double or halve note durations for selected music.
    2. Use the Write > Edit Duration menu items to double or halve the note durations instantly.
    3. With Insert mode enabled, lengthened notes will not overwrite each other, and no gaps will be left between shortened notes.
    4. Add your key commands to make these functions even more accessible.

    This function is terrible, it takes forever to do it and it does it wrong, specially when there are triples or odd time signatures, I always have to export XML do it in Sibelius with the “double notes” icon and import it back again.
