When inputing 4 voices SATB into a piano stave I find it really tricky to figure out which voice is which, especially afterwards when it comes to editing. So, may I request that the voice selected is shown on a status line or something? I do find working with voices to be a bit of a pain, despite the usefulness of being able to show voice colours.
PS this would be useful for the desktop version too.
Thanks Lille, I’m not at home just now and couldn’t remember if the desktop version had it or not. Anyway, I’m really looking fwd to version 4 - the only good news we can be certain of right now.
Hi @RobF
I must concur, even with the new colours menu implemented in Version 2.3 I find working with multiple voices confusing. Assigning the 1st two colours to the treble & bass clefs makes perfect sense to me, the subsequent random allocation of colours doesn’t. I end up with multiple colours in what I think is one voice.
It occurred to me that if the caret changed colour to indicate the colour of the voice you are using, that life would be a lot simpler.
That’s a really good idea!
I’d rather the subscript note symbol change color than the caret.
Thanks!
Yeah, I did think of that as well, but thought it might be too difficult to implement. Maybe also with a subscript number added, to indicate the voice selected , if that’s possible.
