Select First Note in a Part with Macro or LE?

[RickF]

Has anyone figured out a way to select the first note of a part (not the first note of a bar)? It works to do this:

When the list editor looks like this:

However, once you add some controller data the list editor looks something like this and the logical editor preset no longer works.

And the select first note no longer works. I understand it is no longer first in the list editor…does anyone have a better idea on how to write a macro or LE that selects the first note in a selected part? Any ideas are appreciated.

That one didn’t work for me. Any other ideas appreciated.

Sorry, I didn’t check properly.
How about this?

If the first note is a chord, the lower note will be selected.
You may not always be able to select the first note in the list editor.

Hi,

@kai25

If the first note is a chord, the lower note will be selected.

This won’t work, if the 1st note is not part of a chord, if it’s a melody line. Or am I wrong?

Something strange is happening.

To check, I started up Cubase 14. When I executed the macro I had just created, all the chords at the first note position were selected.

Next, I opened the Logical Editor, closed it immediately, and ran the macro again, and only one first note was selected as expected.
After this, no matter how many times I run the macro, only one note is selected. This is normal.

Next, I closed Cubase 14 and restarted it. When I then ran the macro, all the chords were selected. This is abnormal.

In conclusion, there is some kind of bug in the Logical Editor. It seems that sometimes it won’t run properly unless you open the Logical Editor screen once.

Hi Martin, I fixed i

1. Select all notes
2. Move to start of selection
3. Move to next event
4. Deselect cursor transition
5. Select lowest note from selection

Yay! That one worked. Thank Kai.
