I’m looking for a way to select notes by pitch range (e.g. all notes, diatonic and chromatic, between E3 and C0). The filter doesn’t seem to support this, and AFAICS I need to add all the notes one by one manually. Not a daunting task of course, but is there a method that I’m missing? The job could be made quicker if the dialog included ‘all’ in the pitch dropdown (with an octave specified), but that doesn’t appear to be available either.

No, I’m afraid at the moment there’s no way to select a range of pitches. I agree it would be useful and I hope we’ll be able to add it in future.

Is it still not possible to select by pitch range? Or select all note below C4 in order to get into a new system?
Not via dialog currently, no. But you can drag a box around notes to select.
I assume by “a new system” you mean moving notes onto the staff below.
with certain libraries, there can be a difference in dynamic in certain ranges. Sometimes it is scaled and at others, it’s simply a matter of a sudden change at a specific pitch. As it is possible to select a range through the laborious process of of adding one note at a time, it surely can’t be so hard to extend this to a range as other music software I’ve used can (pretty sure Cubase had it around 1992)? I’m glad and appreciate that Daniel is considering this as it seems to be of these filter functions which is rather basic which somehow got left by the wayside.
how is it possible i thought i would find an answer and this is very discouraging.
I’m pretty sure it can be done using the piano keyboard from the lower zone…
Could you be more specific on the steps to do it? I would also like notes below middle C to be automatically placed on the bottom staff on the piano staff.
When you select notes (select first note and then select until the end of the flow) blue points appear on the keyboard. If you shift click the notes on that keyboard you don’t want selected, it should deselect all those notes in the score. That is the idea.

It doesn’t work for me, pressing the piano keys at the bottom doesn’t stop the selection
Ok, sorry about that. So it’s only a visual help. Good to know (and could be a feature request!)
