I am trying to split a bass staff with many notes or parts of chords on leger lines which reach high into the treble staff. How can I split that around middle C?
TIA
I"m not sure what you mean by splitting the part, Warren.
I've seen piano parts where a treble clef is inserted, then insert a treble clef when the part comes down out of the stratosphere again. An alternative is to use a text 8va marking.
From the parts I've copied out, it seems trombone players are not unaccustomed to 3 or 4 leger lines, so it may not be a problem for them.
It is a piano acc. all on one staff and I would like to break all notes or parts of chords into the treble staff.
I seem to remember reading about a chord-splitter utility available (at the Scripto?),
but don't have time to search for it right now.
You could also re-import it with Maximum single track chord size set to 2.
Results won't be the best, but they may suffice.
G'day Warren,
Is this about it?
Export to MIDI (I used type0) then re-import,
Next,
Next,
Map each channel..., max chord 18, next,
Edit: First selection - Pitch C5 through G10, Second selection C0 through B4, Next,
Finish:
Voila
Many thanks! I had tried going through midi, but I couldn't figure out what middle C was.
I learned something replicating your results. In a few places I had to move a note to the other staff to make it more playable, but the midi route saved a lot of heavy lifting. Attached is the whole Bumblebee
G'day Warren,
something else I noticed... In the original there were several instances of staccato notes that were re imported as shorter duration notes. E.G bar 1 staccato minim chord, imported version crotchet chord.
There are several other oddities too. E.G. Staccato quavers coming in as crotchets - should have been semiquavers to be consistent...
Another Tip: If you put a playing style: Legato at the beginning of each staff before export, the import is much cleaner.
