Filter to "select" and online version.

• Sep 18, 2017 - 14:43

I have two requests to the developers. The first, if possible, in the "selection" menu, add a filter to select. For example, "select the top" or "bottom note in the chord," "select 1, 2, 3 voice."
The second, if possible, make an online version. Thank you!

There is already the ability to filter selections by voice and other attributes - see View / Selection Filter. Also, try right clicking an element then Select / More to get additional options.

Right now, no way to select by position in chord, but see Edit / Tools / Explode (also Implode) which does in one step the same sort of thing you may be trying to do more laboriously by filtering on top/bottom.

Unfortunately, these functions can not solve my problems. Sometimes it becomes necessary to select only the top, or bottom, notes for deletion. For example, when in a written score on one line, parts 1 and 2 of the instrument are written (1 and 2 flutes, 1 and 2 oboe, etc.), and then you need to edit the extracted parts so that for each instrument there is a separate part.

Actually, this is a great place to use Explode. Have three staves in your score: a "Flutes 1 & 2" staff containing both parts and set to visible, a "Flute 1" staff (which you will set to invisible before printing the score), and a "Flute 2" staff (which will also be set to invisible). Enter the notes onto the "Flutes 1 & 2" staff normally. Now copy to the Flute 1 staff, select that staff, and run explode. You now have your Flute 1 and Flute 2 staff set up as you want. Generate parts, hide the Flute 1 and Flute 2 staves in the score, and you're good to go. You'd just need to manually deal with passages where you've used multiple voices instead of notes in a chord.

That said, sure, eventually it would be nice to add a way to select based on chord position. Still, it's almost never actually necessary - most real world use cases for this have an equally simple and often superior solution.

Many thanks for your help. But I do not quite understand how this works. Perhaps incorrectly explained his problem. I attach two screenshots. First, this is the score from which to extract the parts. Second, this is what I see after extraction. Lot 1 and 2 oboe are united on one line. My task is to print a separate parts for 1 oboe, and a separate one for 2. Of course, you can immediately write in the score these parts on separate lines, but the conductor is so uncomfortable, you get a lot of small lines. In Sibelius, I solved this problem very simply. First he selected all the top notes on the line, deleted them, and printed out what was left. Then I selected the bottom, deleted, and printed. Using an "explode", I can hide only the bottom notes on the line. How to hide the top, do not know.

As I said before, you need three staves for oboe, in your score. One that looks just like the one you have now, the other two will be for the first and second parts separately. Copy the contents of the top staff (the combined one ) onto the next staff (the one for Oboe 1), so now you have the same music (music for both oboes) on two of your three staves, with the third staff being empty. Now run "Explode" on the the "Oboe 1" staff. This will automatically takes all the music there and split up between the Oboe 1 and Oboe 2 staves.

Do all this before you generate parts. Once you have thing set up in the score like this, then you can generate the parts. And then you mark the Oboe 1 and Oboe 2 staves invisible in the second.
