I’ll have to remember that. I’m awful with this type of thing.
I very rarely write these sort of freely flowing chopin-esque cadenza passages, but it DOES happen, every once in a very-rare while.
Pickup bars: you really don’t need to calculate the part of the measure numerically: you can just input your pickup notes and then input a barline (with shift-B)
That works graphically, but it creates a second (hidden) meter unnecessarily. Writing a proper pickup in the initial meter also automatically numbers the pickup bar 0.
Or input notes at the end of the first bar, then use the Insert mode Global Adjustment of Current Bar scope, and delete the rests at the start (just standard delete using Backspace/Delete).
Even easier in some cases - thanks Lillie!
I think it would also work entering the notes just at the beginning of the bar and delete the superfluous rests in Insert Global Mode.
The outcome seems to be identical in each case, right? (If I do understand the program logic right…)
So, where is the list of letters for note values? “e” for eighth makes sense, but what about the rest of the note values? “t” for 32nd, “s” for sixteenth, “q” for quarter, etc???
