How to alter the voice of a tuplet in percussion and remove the slur from another voice
As shown, I created two tuplets (this is a percussion part, with the two slurs pointing toward different voices).
I merged the tuplet from the lower voice upward, which seems to have worked.
However, when I delete the original tuplet, the note values change.
What should I do?
I am not sure, but if you - after putting the notes into one voice - select the rests instead and do a „remove rests“, what happens?
[edit] I tried to replicate this behaviour. When I select the two lower tuplets and hit V I am left with the upper voice only:
I tried to replicate it as well. I get the same behavior as @k_b in a pitched percussion staff. My guess is that OP’s video is from a percussion kit. Then the tuplet bracket remains when moving the bottom notes into the upstem voice (@youze1145141919810 I assume you mean the tuplet bracket when you say slur). In you’re video you’re deleting the bracket, but what you should do is hide it in the Properties panel through the properties for bracket and number. However, that will leave the rests and Edit>Remove rests doesn’t work for me in a percussion kit.
@youze1145141919810 could you give us some more information? Is this indeed a percussion kit? If you want the notes to be in the same voice, why not edit the lower instrument’s voice/stem direction in the kit itself? If that’s not an option, try this:
This is a drum set sheet.
I tried this method. It seems to work reasonably well, but it results in duplicate instruments within my percussion section, which could cause unnecessary complications during normal input. However, it’s my only option at present.
I tried adding an identical instrument to the percussion section (the Kick Drum (Low) with the stem pointing down in the image) and moved it to the same position as the original instrument, only changing the default stem direction to upward. After that, I created a tuft and filled it with notes. Finally, I used Alt + ↓ to assign the notes to the appropriate instruments.
