Is it possible to have this:
from this?
Thank you!
Hi,
I’m sorry, I don’t think so.
But I like the 2nd more anyway.

I would like to extract the tone rows from a serial work composed by Anton Webern (Op. 27). With a sort function, I could simply input the notes in a MIDI part (in whatever order), and let Cubase do the rest.
Extracting the tone rows manually would be both time and energy consuming…
For example, I would like to extract the notes in these 4 measures as: a one ascending tone row.
Like this:
I expected as much! (serial composition) I doubt there’s a way, but I’ll give it a try. Something like using the LE Event Counter, and Context Variables – and probably Delete Doubles at the end, do you see how it could work?
Or just change the start location of all the notes to the same location.

Sorry, I forgot something super obvious- you can sort by pitch in the Project Browser!
Of course. This is right up the alley of the early (and still working) Cubase developers

This is the best solution. After changing the start location of the notes, I can then create a macro to: copy, paste and advance the cursor (then repeat).
Because I can do this (GIF)
About the Project Browser suggestion
It would be even better if – when selected in the Project Browser – notes got selected in the Key Editor as well. This way I could make a macro to:
- Copy the selected note
- Paste (given that beforehand the Project Cursor has been manually moved to an empty space)
- Advance the Project Cursor by a given amount (either a bar or a value equal to the selected quantize preset).
I could then execute the above macro for each of the notes in the Project Browser. Currently, the only option I have (as far as the Project Browser is concerned) is to assign the notes ascending bar numbers, like this:

True. I think there is very little chance of that though. The project browser can be skipped, really. Just do it all in the key editor.

Hi.
You can do this:
- select all notes, select Start position and press ctrl+enter so they all align:
After that you keep applying this logical editor macro which moves everything but the lowest note one beat to the right:
→ repeat until you got a nice scale
