Mute slash noteheads

Is there a way to mute all slash noteheads?

Noteheads or voices?

Voices? Yes.

Filter all slash voices and then suppress playback via the Properties panel.

Noteheads? I’m not sure.

I mean noteheads. I still try to avoid using voices because it slows me down.

Set midi velocities to zero or as close to zero as possible?

I think @RoelVanWijk’s asking for a way to mute them in bulk.

Yes please, I’d like to have oversized slash noteheads to make no sound. Ever. Also the ones I’m going to make in the future. If possible at all projects, so a one time setting. That would be great, and also rather logical, I think I’m not the only one who would want that.

You’re definitely not.

Enter them as Slash Voices and they don’t. Ever. If you enter a note and change the notehead set to make them slashes, then yes, you will have to mute (suppress playback) them. If you simply input them as a slash voice then they are already muted and you don’t have to bother with any of that.

Yeah Todd, but remember, he doesn’t want to use voices…

According to the manual, while in note entry, ā€œTo create a new slash voice, press Shift-Alt/Opt-V.ā€ I don’t really see how that would slow one down. @FredGUnn has the correct approach if you want to work quickly! :wink:

Ok, I’ll try that again. But it seems to cause strange things like rests ehere I don’t want them. They are deletable, but then I get into trouble when changing it later and there’s no rest anymore. I think my brain doesn’t work the way Dorico wants. Just like not being able to select bars and delete them. And don’t say that I have to use the ā€˜master bar’ because that causes even more trouble. I think I’ll have to suffer, but will try to give ā€˜voices’ another go!
