I couldn’t successfully indicate the timpani’s pitches.
I created another flow for the timpani’s pitches and tried to insert that as a frame on page 1 but failed. It looks horrible.
Hi Michael, if you type “O” you get the locked duration and you can enter the note values that Dutilleux has given. When you tie the notes together, they will retain their values. It will also work with rests. Hope that helps. Enjoy entering Metaboles- I’ve also copied out a few pages of the score in another program just for fun.
One way to get the Pizz to be Pizz and not pizz is to enter it as text with shift-X. The auto spell correction keeps correct pizz to pizza which makes me hungry.
OK, here’s how you do the rests:
press “o” and “,” so you are locked and entering rest.
Enter the note value adding the dotted rhythm with ‘.’ key.
Make the rest by typing a note name like ‘g’
