Accidentals

• Nov 26, 2019 - 10:50

Hello everybody,

About the problem to enter accidentals in the first pass taping, I suggest a simple shortcut that add the accidental of the note without thinking of the theory or anything. Example : imagine you enter F, and you want to view the natural, you press your accidental shortcut and it's okay, no need to use mouse.

There is a second problem : imagine you enter a Gb with a F# on the key signature, why it is impossible to view it ? When you press down, it goes to F#. I suggest to delete this rule by default and if you want to help yourself, you should be able to add a safe rule but not by default I think.

You can trust me, I have a lot of decades of using musical notation programs and I had contributing in severals softwares...

Thanks for your attention.

Imagine actually entering a Gb, not a G and then lowering it.
Starting with 3.3.2 accidentals during note entry take effect on the note-to-be-entered. So type your b shortcut and then a G and you'll see a Gb being entered.

Thank you ! It seems to be promising. Indeed, I already wondered why there was no shortcut on accidentals ?!
In my opinion, every function of a program should have its own shortcut. Often, people and developers said that would do too much shortcuts but people don't use the soft in the same way so I think it could be interresting like dedicated hardware machines which doesn't know a mouse...
