Equalising two neighbouring note values.
Hi,
It is easy to turn 2 successive crotchets into a dotted crotchet followed by a quaver, merely by clicking on the "dot" symbol.
Does anyone have a useful way of doing the reverse? (converting dotted crotchet + quaver) into 2 equal crotchets with a single keystroke?
Thanks,
Ali

Not with a single keystroke, no.
The former works because extending a sound will make it "eat" the following thing.
But reducing a sound doesn't also mean "and move an unspecified number of other notes sooner and possibly lengten one of them".

Yes, I tried selecting both notes and clicking the crotchet button but - no surprise - it doesn't shift the second one backwards!
I guess I'll have to live with it. It would require some addition to the software without doubt. Not a show-stopper but (for me) a constant pain as I often wish to revise my decision on equal / unequal note lengths.

The the Duration Editor plugin sounds like a thing you'd want to start using (not available in MS4 yet afaik)

Yes it sounds interesting - I've got as far as the Github site but can't for the life of me see an actual Download button!?

Many thanks jeetee, now loaded and used it.
My own requirement, namely equalising two adjacent notes, can now be achieved with 2 key presses,
(1) dotted crotchet --> crotchet
(2) newly created quaver ---> crotchet.
Much better than without the plugin. So thankyou!
AND the bonus is that the lyrics are not destroyed!!
THIS WILL SAVE me SOOO much time!!!
