Title: How to convert rests
Post by: felisek on 2008-06-12 01:50 pm
I have a NWC score in 3/4 converted from a MIDI file, and all the full-bar rests are half dotted. I want to convert them into whole rests. I tried using global modification tool:

Rest,Dur==Half\,Dotted Dur=Whole

but this didn't work. Tried all other combinations, but didn't succeed. Can anyone help, please?

I couldn't get it to work either, but I'm not a GlobalMod guru.
I also tried: Rest,Dur==Half\,Dotted DELETE
That didn't work either, leading me to believe that it is the Half\,Dotted part that is not working.

If you export it to an nwctxt file (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6094.0) and load that into WordPad, then:
It will process all the staves at once.
Save it, and drop it on NWC2.

The GlobalMod expression would be something like:

Rest,Dur.Half,Dur.Dotted Dur=Whole

There is a harmless warning generated by GlobalMod if other rests are encountered. It occurs at line 81. It can safely be ignored.

Cheers, Rick, it worked!
