Apologies if this has been made before, but I think it would be great to have a “Filter Notes by Rhythm” pop-up menu, just as there is one for “Filter Notes by Pitch.”
In this, I imagine you could opt to filter exact rhythmic values only (all 8th notes) or a combination (all 16ths and quarters); as well as a conditional range from a certain point (>, <, =, <=, =>, etc - e.g., filter all notes equal to and shorter than 8th notes).
Thank you!
Yes, this would be a good thing to have.
I hope that Dorico will one day have an equivalent to Cubase’s logical editor - that would support all those inequalities.
This has already been requested a certain number of times : it is probably already on Daniel’s list 
(although your idea of rhythm ranges is new and certainly interesting)
Actually not new to Sibelius users …
I would imagine that one of the conceptual problems with a filter like that would be the underlaying philosophy and architecture of Dorico of treating tied notes as a rhythmic unit. So if you for example want to filter for eighth notes, would that also include 2 tied 16ths? If not, it would run against the philosophy of how this program fundamentally treats note lengths.
I’m not quite sure what a good solution here would be but I certainly would welcome a way to filter for rhythms.
Valid point. I suppose Filter by Pitch faces a similar quandary of “same thing, but also different” with regards to enharmonic notes. Perhaps in the conditional section of such a popup there would be a checkbox to toggle between “ignore / include tied notes” to decide whether you wish to treat them as separate or connected entities on a case-by-case basis.
I would think that by default it should just filter by total duration of the note and not the written appearance of part of a tie. That seems like the most likely use case. I think in the other case you present you would add “tied notes” as a condition to your filter.
