Just stumbled upon this weird (not fully illogical though) limitation.
Writing a piano reduction on a tour and I have a 14’’ MBP and 12,9’’ iPad at my disposal, no big screen. To see full score I got an idea to put all wind instruments on iPad screen and other instruments (perc., harp, strings) on MBP screen. Like this:
Not the ideal way of working but better than nothing.
I created 2 instrument filters on my temp. layout that contain the flow I am working on: “winds+brass” and “others”.
The limitation is: when the same layout is open in two windows, one cannot use two different instrument filters at the same time. Changing filter in one window changes both.
The solution is of course to duplicate the layout and show different temp. layouts on both screens. This behaviour surprised me a bit but life is full of surprises anyway.
Tõnis, have you tried to open an additional tab (instead of a second layout)? I have not tried it, but you might have luck and get two independent view filters.
There is no difference between opening the same layout in two windows or in two tabs. Filter-wise I mean.
Tabs won’t work anyway because I need to see full orchestra at the same time. I need two windows on different screens.
Ok., I suspected this, but it was worth a try.. From a logical standpoint, if a dataset has been subjected to a filtering process, a subsequent filter can only display a subset of the data that has been further filtered. (AI)
You suggested using a second layout. That’s probably a pain when it comes to playback?
ps.: as a traveller I am curious about the third window, too, which town can be identified?
I have now 2 temp. layouts that contain the same flow and all instruments. I have experienced no playback issues whatsoever. The playback is the same as with one open window/layout.
About dataset and filtering- this is not a case of further filtering, change filter in one window also changes it in another.
The window is James hotel Rotterdam. De Doelen today, Muziekgebouw A:dam tomorrow, then Ghent. Passio by Arvo Pärt.
If you have some spare time, that building with the green roof houses a very nice, massive bookstore. They even have some sheet music in the vintage/second-hand section. Also you’ll be broadcast live on Dutch classical radio tonight, I heard the announcement this morning.
