Keyboard shortcut for remove ledger lines?

Hi Everyone,

Is there a keyboard shortcut to remove ledger lines in a selection, in Engrave mode?

Much appreciated!

Don’t think so I’m afraid.

I was just looking for this

You can hide the notehead and the stem but it leaves the leger lines if the note is outside the staff. Can’t think of a situation where I’d want that.

You can also hide the ledger lines. There’s a separate option for it in the lower panel of Engrave mode.

I made myself a macro for hiding everything in a note. By editing this you can customise it to your liking, name it accordingly and invoke it from the Jump Bar.

local app=DoApp.DoApp()
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kNoteHideStem&Value=string: "true"]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kNoteHideNotehead&Value=null: ]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kNoteLedgerLineHide&Value=string: "true"]])

That’s really interesting to me from a UI perspective- it’s there in plain sight (now that it’s been pointed out), but because it’s not next to the ledger line L/R adjustment (which I do use), or next to the ‘hide stem’ and ‘hide notehead’ (which I also use) I didn’t see it, just one column away.

Rather than group the ledger line options, or group the ‘hide’ options, some UI dev thought 'no, I’ll stick ‘hide ledger lines’ between ‘Velocity’ and ‘Laissez Vibrer tie. I mean, where else would it go?’ :man_facepalming:

Good point. @Damian_leGassick IMO it should be over there with hide stem and hide notehead.
