To clarify about the pedal question: I usually enter durations in one pass through a phrase or section, then go back and enter pitches. When I get to chords, I use the pedal to enter all the notes of a chord simultaneously--and this is very useful. I wish that the cursor would advance only one note after entering the chord so I could simply enter the next chord using the same method. Instead I have to arrow back to get the cursor on the right chord. I'd be interested in other people's uses of that feature.
and thanks for the phrasing info--that was helpful. -Ellen On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 3:59 AM, Richard Shann <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, 2014-11-08 at 23:23 -0500, Ellen Schwindt wrote: > > I am using version 1.2.0.-0.mingw > > > > > > Here is a lyric question.
