Hi all,
Can this be done? I always feel like I'm overlooking the obvious...
I need to take a lengthy section of mixed note values and rhythms, and
change all of them to the same (smaller) note value, filling out the note's
remaining value with rests. (Because of the variety of mixed values, it's
not as simple as making certain notes staccato, saving as Midi, and
reloading.)
I've been thinking about this, and if I were to approach it, I'd start
with this approach using the meter / time signature tool. What I'd
first do is to determine what length for the shorter note value (for the
sake of discussion, assume you want sixteenth notes), and change the
meter signature to 1 / 16, applying it to the whole piece, and selecting
the option to rebar music. Then I would go through, and change all of
the second and later sixteenth notes to rests for the piece, and then
change the meter signature back to what it was originally, again with
the option to rebar music selected, and delete the extra measures that
have been created through the process.
