Hello all-- I'm wondering if the following would be possible as a sponsored feature, if it cannot be done somehow already.
I mainly write piano music. Often there are temporarily two or more voices in a measure or two, which then merge into one voice soon after. Sometimes (quite often, actually) two or more of the voices end with ties which (should) extend to and end at a single-voice chord: separate voices which resolve into a chord which is tied to the previous individual voices. I know that it is possible for the ties of the primary voice (the voice that was in effect before one or more new voices were temporarily created) to cross the boundary of the simultaneous music (multiple voices) on either side of the << or >> boundaries of the simultaneous music.) However, would it be possible to *merge* the pending ties of all voices with some command, so that all pending ties from any voices could be directed to a specific voice (by default, the primary voice that was in effect before the multiple-voice section)? This feature would be extremely handy for me, and I'm guessing would be gratefully regarded by other composers and notators of polyphonic instruments as well. :-) Best wishes, Steve Doonan Portales, New Mexico US -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Forget and forgive.
