Dan, it works for me when I paste Daniel’s snippet at the end of the kWriteMode context.
I suppose you have broken the json syntax, presumably by not adding a comma at the end of the previous line.
Copy and paste the complete file into a json linter before you save.
EDIT: If you can’t figure it out, post your file here and I’ll take a look.
This file should give you Alt+C for cue note scaling. I added it in the kGlobal context, now it should work in Write and Engrave Mode. keycommands_en for Dan.zip (1.55 KB)
Well, I’m afraid it didn’t work. When I put that new key commands file into the folder, I once again lost all key commands. I restored the one I had fixed, per your instructions, and key commands are back, but the added Alt+C command seems to have broken that file.
Perhaps there’s something in my particular key commands that’s causing a conflict? But nothing is assigned to Alt-C…
That version reintroduced the error in line 9. This version adds the shortcut to the kMusicEditable context (which really is for Write and Engrave modes) and uses the shortcut Shift+Alt+. (period/full stop). You can edit the shortcut itself provided you’re careful! fixed-keycommands_en.json.zip (1.88 KB)
So uh, I was digging through the forum looking for a way to assign a command for “scale->cue” but i don’t want to accidentally nuke my other commands. Any progress here? If it helps, I’m using Keyboard Maestro as well.
Hi everyone. I’m so sorry but I posted this in a different thread before realising I should have posted here.
I saw this kCue line and it’s great. I actually created an additional line/shortcut using kNormal which works great too!
I was wondering though, is there a code I could use besides kNormal to deselect the scale option, rather than leaving the option selected and adjusted back to “normal”.
So ideally I’d have a shortcut (kCue) to turn on cue size, and another to turn scaling off completely.
I think I’m just worried about having a bunch of normal notes mixed with a bunch of scaled-to-normal notes. Is there any sort of downside to this? Perhaps this is not something to worry about?!
