Double all notes in lenght
Hello,
I have been given two versions of the same piece that I have been told to splice together somehow (that's a whole different conversation), yet one of them is notated at twice the length as the other, so a crotchet in one is a quaver in the other, etc...
My question is thus: is it possible, with the creation of a plugin, to do this? I've found this: https://musescore.org/en/node/5941. It claims have found a way to do it. Yet, not being a programmer, I haven't the foggiest how to start doing what that says...
Any ideas?
Thank you, sorry if it's in the wrong place or anything.

For 1.x such a plugin exists since quite a while, see https://musescore.org/project/doubletime
It hasn't yet been ported to the 2.0 plugin infrastructure though

Thank you, I must have just been looking like a bloke... I'll see whether that works, I've ended up with both old and new MuseScore on here somehow... How difficult, do you know, is it to port it into 2.0?

depends, goes from easy to impossible ;-)

Damn... Well, I've tried that, and everything *but* the thing I want to double works with the old MuseScore... The plugin works, which is nice...

There is a version for 2.0 now: https://musescore.org/en/project/doubletimev20
but it causes my MuseScore to crash with segfault:

even with the proposed fix:

"goes from easy to impossible "
Currently in the "impossible" category as the programmer remains in ignorance of the new Plugins structure ;-( . If I do get around to learning it I'd probably start afresh but I hear that there are thoughts about including this sort of thing as a main part of the program.
Meantime, I presume you have a piece in 2.0 that you'd really like to be in 1.3 so you can run the Plugin? If so, export the 2.0 to MusicXML and import into 1.3 then run the DoubleTime (or HalfTime, as appropriate) Plugin.

Thank you very much for the reply. I was in a lesson, so didn't get to reply. I did manage to get it working like that, all it took was a tiny bit of brute force...
Thank you!
