Note tools (Shift+I) feature request

[maresz]

I would like to ask for a new feature in the note popover.

if one needs to change a selection of different notes to the same note, could we have the possibility to write for example =g4 to change all selected notes to g4 ?

Specify pitch incl. octave could be able to do that, or map pitches but without the first note I guess…

You can of course do this in the popover by typing a long string that maps each pitch to the desired one, but I like your idea for a more compact syntax.

Here’s a post I wrote about turning all pitches into a single pitch; after you get them to one pitch, you can then move them all together either with the popover again or with Alt/Opt+arrow. You can save the “same pitch” command as a custom lua script and then invoke it from the Script menu or jump bar, or manually map it to a key command.

Similar actions - different names?

The command for that to use if you’re up to editing keycommands_en.json is: NoteInput.TransposeOrAddNotesToSelection?Definition=a=b4\,a#=b4\,ab=b4\,b=b4\,b#=b4\,bb=b4\,c=b4\,c#=b4\,cb=b4\,d=b4\,d#=b4\,db=b4\,e=b4\,e#=b4\,eb=b4\,f=b4\,f#=b4\,fb=b4\,g=b4\,g#=b4\,gb=b4 Here’s a Lua script file that does the same thing. Make Pitch Constant.lua (236 Bytes) In action: [goto]

Thank you asherber,

Yes it’s possible to type a long string every time, but I don’t like this way of doing things when in the rush of working. Your script to change all notes for a chosen one will do the job for now, considering that it’s possible to change the note with the popover after that.

I would still prefer for native and elegant way of doing this until we get an API that would allow us to deal with this kind of stuff.
