Hi all, My past few posts have gotten no answers, so I'm wondering if they've actually gotten through. Resending this one... I have received a project with some 500 measures of music for multiple keyboards where the stems span staves like this image:

I would enter them all on the top staff using speedy with caps lock. You can then drag the first one using Cross Stave and my Mass Copy plugin will copy the cross staffing from. It seems only slightly tedious to me. On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 6:41 AM, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz bath...@maltedmedia.com

Robert, thanks, The tediousness comes from the range -- high above the treble clef and far below the bass clef is such a distance on the same stem, and without some kind of method to change the view, there are too many ledger lines in one clef or the other to count. Am I missing something in your

Assuming you have a keyboard with a wide enough span, you set caps lock on 3 (16th notes) then play all the chords in one at a time. Then change the 16ths to the correct dotted rhythms. On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 8:13 AM, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz bath...@maltedmedia.com wrote: Robert, thanks, The

Ah, that's it. I use the computer keyboard (mentioned that in my last sentence of the original post). I don't have a music keyboard (and don't play it anyway, so it would take me just as long to figure out what notes to press). D On Wed, July 16, 2014 9:19 am, Robert Patterson wrote: Assuming

In that case you might find it easier to use transposition with keep original notes checked. Unfortunately it is not a consistent interval from note to note, but you can set up several transposition metatools that might speed up the process if there are some intervals that are more prevalent than

yuck. but yeah there seem to be a few recurrent intervals (F#-D), so if this is a consistent thing you might want to set up a model (32nd, for ex.) then copy-paste and adjust durations and add ties. depending on the amount of recurrence, setting your transposition metatools (6-9) may or
