Key command to select all notes in a chord?

I’d also love to know if this exists. If I do shift-up I get the stave above, if I’m on the top of the chord and do shift-down I sometimes get additional things (such as the new clef if there’s a clef change).

Ctrl-shift-A takes the whole bar as mentioned above.

With one note selected, press Tab.

Very nice, thank you for the quick reply!

I don’t know if the main purpose of the Tab key is to select the notes of a chord but I often get unexpected behavior.

Is it possible to have more information about how to select the notes of a chord without clicking on the stem with the mouse? Is it really the tab key? If so, will the behavior be improved?

Interesting. If I have a note selected in a chord, pressing Tab will indeed select all notes in that chord, unless there’s another object at that position, like text or a dynamic. In that case, the focus will shift to that element. Pressing Tab again will shift the focus back to the chord and select all the notes.

You can use Ctrl+Shift+A (Command instead of Ctrl on Mac) to move from having one note of a chord selected to the whole chord being selected.

Ctrl +Shift +A works great! Thank you.

Of course, that’s the ‘select more’ shortcut. Thanks for the reminder, Daniel!
