Re: [Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

Yeah, I'm getting a better sense of the whole thing through this thread. I like that it allows me to input notation as I find it a LOT easier to think in that than the matrix editor, which, despite getting the gist of it and being able to make modifications in it, I don't fully understand yet.

Oh, geez. It's been a long time since I've used a mailing list and I sent my reply to Lorenzo personally. Thanks for your patience, Lorenzo. Okay, here's what I said in the reply: Oh, it definitely does help. It's not a showstopper by any means. I asked all of this mainly because a) I'm new to

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

You could focus on how the piece sounds and when you have it the way you want, make a duplicate and clean it up from a notation point of view. For notation, I would just use a fermata where the matrix editor is messing with the notation. I love the fact that RG is a musical swiss army knife but

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

I did it again. Last time, Lorenzo, I promise. So what I said: Well, here's the problem: When I initially put the chord in, I made the notes dotted whole notes, which made them span three measures. And, now that I'm suddenly remembering what happened there, I determined that a note BEFORE this

I appreciate it. And it sounds like the game is good, lol. On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 10:55 AM, D. Michael McIntyre wrote: > On 04/07/2016 10:44 AM, Silas Mortimer wrote: > >> do that and then use shortcuts in LilyPond to "clean it up" visually? >> To be specific,

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

I should start doing that. Anyway, as I said before, I had to make the time signature 2/4, which would make a whole note of four beats span two measures. I know it's weird, but I started composing the piece on guitar and wound up having trouble finding the right signature before finding that 2/4

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

I was thinking so much about the attachment that I forgot to say thank you. And that "Tie Notes at Bar Lines" was what I was looking for, but I'm glad to know that it might not work, lol. If I might ask, because I've been wondering about this, what makes doing notation so difficult? I know, of
