When I try to shift click a group of instruments while a filter is on it doesn’t select anything. I can command select but not shift select. The problem goes away once I turn off the filter
What about if you use the marquee tool?
yes that works but shifting clicking not working all the time seems like something that isn’t suppose to happen
Are you saying that you want to add items to a filtered selection? Or are you saying you want to add measures but have the SHIFT + Click continue to add only items that reflect the filter?
I am having trouble picturing exactly what you are attempting.
Will CTRL/CMD + Click work to add items to a filtered selection?
Yes, I feel like I’m not quite on top of what you’re getting at either. Could you post a screen capture that demonstrates your process?
well, it seems to be fixed or I was doing something wrong.
I would like to see an option to Shift Click to extend a filtered selection. For example, click on one syllable, at the end of a measure, and then Shift Click to select the remaining lyrics I want to work with. If I Shift Click it selects everything. If I do More, I get all the lyrics in that measure, including the ones before, which I don’t want selected, and if I do More again I get the entire lyric. Otherwise I have to select the area and use a filter.
It would also be nice to be able to turn a filter “on” and continue to select that type of item until you turned the filter off. ie I select lyrics in one bar then lyrics in the next bar just by selecting the bar or using the marque, since the filter would be “Active”.
I believe it’s undocumented (and I’m not completely sure how it works, given that I was the one who wrote the Select More feature, and I didn’t implement it specifically!) but if you select an item and then Ctrl+click another item elsewhere in the music, when you invoke Select More, all of the items of that type between the two selected items will be selected.
I use that all the time for lyrics, I’m very glad it’s there and please don’t make it go away someday because it’s not an intentional feature! In fact I’d humbly ask that you make it even better for lyrics: right now if I try to do this kind of Select More operation in a passage that contains more than one line of lyrics, Select More will select all the lines of lyrics if I’ve selected any other than the first line of lyrics. I’d like to be able to use this Select More trick on eg. just the second and fifth lines, without the other lines being Select More-d as well.
