Explode Certain notes in a chord

Please see the screen shot. I want to take the bottom two notes in this top piano staff and move them to the bass clef staff below so the top two notes stay in the top staff and the bottom two notes move to the bass clef. I have worked with exploding parts but only when the number of notes is equal to the number of staves. (1 note per staff) I knew how to do this in that other unnamed program but can’t find anything that helps in the help menu.

Thanks in advance as usual.

You can select the bars, Edit->filter for bottom note, then Edit->Paste Special->Move to staff below. Then the same once more. You might need to have chord mode active with Q, but I don’t think so.

Jesele,

Thanks. That works. I wish there was a way to simply designate the number of notes to move or how many staves to explode to. It would save some steps. But this works fine.

Thanks again.

You can even explode chords equally if you make this setting in Note Input Options > Paste Special

Vadian,

I would like to try this. Where do I find NOTE INPUT OPTIONS?

Thank you.

It’s in menu Library (shortcut SHIFTCMD/CRTLI)

Vadian,

When I did this, it left the top two notes in treble clef but divided the bottom 2 notes between the bass clef staff and the bass guitar staff below that.

Select both piano staves before pasting/exploding, not just the top one.

Ah! That did the trick.

Thank you so much. I have made notes on how to do this.

I think @Vadian’s post should have the solution mark, since it’s a better and more direct answer to the question. Although “move to staff below” is good to know.

Jesele,

Done! Thank you so much for your response.

Best regards,
