In the scenario below, I’m used to selecting the mp and shortening the hairpin using Shift-Alt-right arrow.
I note that, when multiple hairpins are selected, I can’t perform that function. Is that an intentional limitation? Just curious. I tend to avoid linking, and I acknowledge this is one place where it would be helpful.
I just tried this and it works on my system.
Select two or more of the mp marks and you can shorten the hairpin?
Yes, I created 4 hairpins with an ending mp. Then, I unlinked them. Then selected all the mps and could shorten them via <Shift><Alt><right arrow>.
Is it possible there was something else selected? This often messes these things up.
Yes, but were your mp’s grouped with their respective hairpins?
I tried it that way as well. Initially they weren’t, so I grouped them. Interestingly, the shorten operation ungrouped them.
Can you post a cut down project for me to try?
Yes, it works. Again, the dynamics become ungrouped after the operation.
Huh. I get neither of those results.
You can’t see the keystroke here, but after selecting all the mp’s, I’m pressing Shift-Alt-left arrow. Nothing happens. They stay grouped but don’t move.
One works fine:
DOH! What a dummy I am. I am using <ctrl><alt><right-arrow>.
But that doesn’t explain the single vs. multiple selection difference you are seeing.
Hello,
My second test : I select the four mp in write mode do crtl-alt and left arrow also in write mode: and it works
I’m on a Mac and selecting all mp and then pressing SHIFT ALT LEFT-ARROW does nothing.
No, Shift-alt. To shorten the length of the hairpin.
On my pc: shift+alt + left arrow have no effects!
I wrote right: write mode : select the four mp than ctrl +alt + left arrow do the job
What language keyboard are you using? Not sure if that could be a reason.
