Hint

2011-04-04 07:00 am

While notating, I found myself selecting a dynamic marker and pressing '+' to switch from F to FF.
Nothing happened, naturally, by why not to implement it?

Of course that could be only applicable when the only item selected is a dynamic marker.

Ça va sans dire, the '-' key could go the other way...

Concur. This could be done for all objects where a list is the first property:

Object	Property	List
Dynamic	Style	ppp\|pp\|mp\|mf\|f\|ff\|fff
DynamicVariance	Style	Sforzando\|Rinforzando\|Diminuendo\|Decrescendo\|Crescendo
Tempo	Style	Eighth\|Eighth Dotted\|Quarter\|Quarter Dotted\|Half\|Half Dotted
SustainPedal	Style	Released\|Down
TempoVariance	Style	<various>\|Fermata\|Ceasura\|Breath Mark
PerformanceStyle	Style	Tenuto\|Staccato\|Semplice\|Legato
Text	Font	Usern\|etc.

Good idea. I notice that Rick's list includes a change in the way the +/- keys currently operate on note durations, inserting a dotted value between each set of adjacent full durations. This also seems like a good idea.

Umm, actually, Rick seems to be referring to metronome marks rather than note duration changes.

Personally, I would prefer the +/- note duration functionality to remain as it is.

Sorry, Bill, I think it would cause me too much grief. The current system for dotting and double dotting notes works very well for me. I'm with Lawrie and Flurmy on this.
