Plug ins - note names
Hi Very useful little tool that puts the note name beside the note on the stave. Trouble is that having named all the notes, there is not way of undoing or clearing the txt. When transposing afterwards the notes stay named as before and are therefore now wrong. Naming again puts another set of names above the existing ones so it gets very cluttered
Is there a work around for this. Its a great tool for learners
All I can think of is to warn users to make multiple copies before using the naming tool

OH me stupid boy Pike - I was too close to the problem tnx10^6
Does anyone know how to edit the txt in note name plug in in a search an replace operation. I can select individual txt boxes and edit but for example I have a load of notes named Cb which I want to replace with B. Is there a search and replace workaround.
I can export to pdf but I havent found an app that will edit existing text
Players must need to export their song sheets and do simple txt editing
Any ideas pls

Not sure how replacing text in the plugin is going to help then. But J cycles thru alternate spellings of a note

It's trivially easy to delete all of them, just right click one, Select / All Similar Elements, Delete.

Sorry, I thought you wanted them deleted. In that case, maybe just select the notes you want updated before running the plugin (and also use Select / All Similar Elements in Range Selection to delete the existing ones). Or edit the plugin to ignore existing texts. Or just use the built-in note name facility and forget the plugin.

Right-click a staff, Staff Properties, Advanced Style Properties, see the options under "Notehead scheme". This is then completely automatic - note names update as you add notes, change pitches, etc. It's expected you'd be using this in conjunction with larger than standard notes.

Oh WOW thats blown me away - a well kept secret
It cant handle double sharps (who can )
Pity this board doesnt have a sticky for tips like this
Thanx 10^6

It just occurred to me (having enlarged the sheet 200%) that this system could completely revolutionise the burden of learning sight reading and having to remember key accidentals
No doubt this will be poo pooed by fluent sight readers (Not me)
