TEMPO and VOLUME in the menu bar

• Feb 26, 2015 - 10:57

MuseScore BETA v2 (feature recomendation)

You can include the TEMPO in the menu var and/or the volume.

Always I have to go to the view options to see this basic information.

I think that this information can be more accessible.

Tempo and Volume Level

application.

What specifically are you using these sliders for? Normally they wouldn't be used very foten at all. The normal way to set the tempo for a piece is by adding explicit tempo elements to the score itself, and for volume, to add explicit dynamics. After all, that's how the human musician who will eventually read the score will need to know what volume and tempo you mean., The play panel is really only meant for occasional temporary overrides; it isn't really
"basic information".

Which isn't to say adding an optional toolbar for this woudn't be a good diea, but I suspect maybe you are doing something wrong if you are finding you need to access these often.

Hi Mark! Thank You for take time to view my feedback :O)

Ok in some cases I write some score and I play the score in different tempos so always I have to go view/Display Play Panel, make the adjustment, close it (because I don't like the still with the windows open).

I just think that can be a PLUS to the app. I'm sure that can be a good idea to put in view options to items to include "view tempo" and/or "view volume" Right now the app have space in the menu bar to put that options.

I think that have more accessible the options of tempo and volume in menu bar can be better.

Thank You Mark you are doing a GREAT JOB :O) have a BEAUTIFUL day

Sincerely,

OK, I do understand. I do think a dockable toolbar users could display or not (for many of us, it would just be wasted space) is a good idea.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you can simply leave the Play window open - it shoudln't be in the way with the latest 2.0 builds. Or, since you use it a lot, learn the keyboard shortcut for it: F11. You can even customize that with Edit / Preferences / Shortcuts.
