Filtering options

Hey there !

I was wondering, is there an efficient way to filter notes that have specific markings, for instance what I want to do is change the noteheads of all the notes I’ve selected that have an accent, is that possible to filter the selected notes to only display the ones that have an accent ?

Thanks !

No, you can’t filter notes by articulation.

that’s what I figured, well maybe it could be an idea for future features for filters then :slight_smile:

Well articulated.

But what we can do is Copy a passage and Edit > Paste Special > Paste Articulations.

Although I know about this feature, I’ve never used it. I can’t check right now but if you paste articulations does it then cause the newly articulated notes to be highlighted? My thought was you could just paste articulations over themselves.

No filtering, but if you want to find all notes with an accent, you could go into music symbols and change the size of the accent to enormous. Then you will easily find them but you would still have to change them one by one. Then reset the accent to normal size.

This might at least help you a bit in the tedious task…

Can we vote for “notes with articulations” to be added to the filter types. So many articulations may be on the wrong side after an import from Finale.

Today if aMarque select includes any notes without an articulation then the property to flip note side/ stem side is hidden.

Even better would be for Dorico to display the true subset of all relevant properties for a mixed set of selected objects. This is an obvious feature and would complement the current ‘filter-centric’ approach. If the user sees too many properties they can always filter down futher.

Maybe untick this under preferences->Music-XML import.

The only thing I have ticked is text items.

Great idea :slightly_smiling_face:, but for this work far too late… I’ve got as far as fighting with layouts… (I’m 95% there)

Actually if you select some bars and filter for Note and Chords, you can choose Reset Position from Edit menu, and (even if the properties don’t appear in the Properties Panel, because there are both Articulation of Duration and Articulations of Force in the selection), they will be reset to their default positions (as defined in Engraving Options).

Feature request:
It would be nice of course if all articulation properties would appear in the Properties panel, even with different types of articulations selected (which now produce a multiple selection, impeding so to show the properties for them). There is already a separation between Duration and Force, and it would so be possible to set them independently with a single selection of notes/chords:

That feels like a good trick! Thanks

Different use case here- but would also love filter options for “Notes with articulations” and “Notes without articulations.” I often have to manually go in and lower the velocities of all my unaccented notes (Marching Percussion convention, unaccented notes almost always at piano), this is super tedious and would be greatly aided by a filter for these note types.

Oh man, this just saved me hours of work!
