Looks like only slurred notes have the duration I expect; non-slurred notes have duration ~ 5/6 of what they should be.
This becomes evident when I open the exported file in Cakewalk. For example, a quarter note comes up in 800 ticks, whereas it should be 960 ticks.
Is it possible to correct this somehow?
Thanks, Alex
If you insert a legato performance style at the beginning of each staff, this should give you the full note lengths you desire.
Articulations | Duration |
Staccatissimo + Staccato PF | 17% |
Staccatissimo | 28% |
Staccato + Staccato P.F. | 28% |
Staccato | 38% |
Staccato + Tenuto P.F. | 38% |
Staccato + Legato P.F. | 38% |
Staccato P.F. | 40% |
Staccatissimo + Tenuto P.F. | 47% |
Staccatissimo + Legato P.F. | 47% |
Staccatissimo + Tenuto | 50% |
Staccatissimo + Legato | 50% |
Staccato + Tenuto | 65% |
Staccato + Legato | 65% |
Standard | 83% |
Legato | 100% |
Tenuto | 100% |
P.F. = Performance Style
Legato is effective for grace notes too.
Dynamic variations |
Tenuto | 107% |
Accent | 150% |
Marcato | 165% |
The tenuto, but not the legato, notes are a bit louder (velocity +7%).
Tenuto used to be an articulation of duration, not force. Here it is both.
Great, thank you guys.
It would be a very useful improvement to NWC if these percentages could be configured somehow in the preference settings, in the same way that the dynamic velocity values can be configured.
