After messing around with the program for two days I am still lost on a few things and I think it comes down to order of sequence or the proper way to input stuff.
Ties are still throwing me off. When should I add the tie. Should I input the first note then hit the tie button and then hit the second note or should I input all the notes first go back and select the notes to be tied and then hit the tie button. What is the proper procedure?
How about copying and pasting. What is the proper procedure for copying one instrument part to the other instrument part. I have been just using the marquee tool to select the notes and then selecting the whole rest in the measure I want to copy to and press control V. I find that somethings don’t copy 100% if you don’t get it all selected? Is this the proper procedure for copying and pasting music from one staff to the next?
I am coming from sibelius where slurs/ties/articulations copied and pasted from one staff to the next depending on what note they were attached to.
Also, what is the proper procedure for entering rest into a measure. I know the , key is the rest key but do I have to use my mouse to input that rest in the measure or are their short cut keys. I have tried to input rests and I select quarter rest (still stays a half note) then an eighth rest (still says a half rest) and then I input a eighth note and then the half rest changes to a quarter and eighth rest. Whats the proper procedure for entering rests (with and without a mouse)
I know these might be silly questions but I want to know how the developers imagined the procedure going. Make sure Im doing it the right way.
