Hello. Is there any simple way to input “una corda” for a full movement of a piece? Currently when inputting, both una and tre corde appear one immediately after the other. Instead of expanding the zone manually to the end of the movement, it would be convenient to be able to input tre corde immediately after the last note of the movement to show that the soft pedal is removed for the following movement.
Thanks, Charles, but how do I apply tre corde after the last note of the movement? Neither of the solutions above seem to allow for that.
Sorry, I read your post too quicly!
If you keep the default settings, you can select the first and the last note of the piece and put an una corda, and that’s what you get:
Does it help?
(You might need to adjust a bit the position of the tre corde in Engrave Mode.)
You could also enter it as text, of course.
Why does it need to be a pedal line if it is constant for so long? You could just use system text, since you don’t want any continuation line for the whole movement.
Personnaly, I think I would enter una corda or sempre una corda at the beginning, nothing at the end, and possibly (tre corde) at the beginning of the next movement if you want (but you’re not obliged, pedal indications are not supposed to continue between movements!)
That’s the solution. Engraving options and Properties as you suggested, then select first and last notes - or all - and insert una corda. Personally I like to cancel una corda, because as a pianist/composer I often forget what the left foot is doing. Thanks again, Charles. (By the way, the spell check function here thinks I mean “tuna corda”. I wonder how that would sound.)
Sound’s fishy to me.
Play the major third low.
Plentiful scales, I would imagine.
I guess if you want it to affect playback you cant really use the text solution.
Out of interest, do you use a piano VST? If so, which?
It might work if you were scoring a reel.
Now you’re just trolling.
