Removing all natural harmonics

[ted123544]

I’m condensing an orchestral score with a lot of natural string harmonics to a piano reduction. Is there a quick way to remove all natural harmonic markings from the score? I couldn’t find a way to filter for this. Thanks!

Select all. Filter>Notes and Chords. Reset the Harmonics Type property.

Thanks Janus! That worked. I overlooked that I was selecting more than just notes.

Edit: Though for some reason, if I select all, and filter for notes and chords, it still doesn’t bring up the harmonics type property. I haven’t figured out why, though at least now I can remove harmonics from large regions easily.

Edward, once you have done this first filtering - switch Filter to “deselect”, then filter (deselect) Grace Notes and Tuplets. Until you see the Harmonics property lighten up.

You can change which Properties are shown in Preferences…

There are pros/cons to each. If you show all (as I do) there’s a very large number of properties to scroll through. If you show only common properties you can be surprised by some absences (as you found!).
