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!
When doing real-time input then going through to correct quantized note values, it would be good to arrow through notes and chord and hit the correct note value on the keypad without first having to hit command-shift-A. Is there a setting that will select entire chords when arrowing htrough the notes?
No, there’s no option to do this when navigating between notes with the arrow keys. I’ll make a note of it as something for us to consider adding in future versions.
a god save, again
