How to easily make a list of which notes are used in a score (immediate response requested)

• Oct 5, 2016 - 22:33

Tonight I'm going over music that I wrote for our church's chime choir with the lady who is in charge. She just emailed asking me if I could make a list of all the notes used in the piece so we can determine which ringers are best to use for which chimes. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do that on Musescore.

If anyone is able to respond by 6:30 Eastern Time, that would be greatly appreciated. Even a late answer would be of use the future, however.

Thanks! Sorry for the short notice.

There used to be a Plugin for this but newer versions of MuseScore use a different programming method so the Plugin has not been updated. You can drag an ambitus from the Lines palette and this will give you the range of notes but then the easiest way is just to make a list of notes within that range and go through the score and tick them off manually.

One (not that elegant) way to do this is to save the uncompressed file, open it in a spreadsheet program and filter the column of code for < pitch > nn . Doing this I see that pitch ranges from 55 to 79 and includes
all the pitches in that range with the exception of 71. I think this equates to G below the stave to G just above the stave excluding B natural on the third line (all of the treble stave).
