Hanging Notes After Transposition 1998-02-22 05:00 am Notes tied across a bar line create the biggest problem - particularly if the first note of the tie has an implied accidental from a note earlier in the measure.Forcing accidentals will reveal the accidental on the first note of the tie but doesn't show the true status of the note in the following bar.When writing big band scores I write in concert and transpose the trumpets and saxes before printing out the parts.I have found the following procedure a big help in eliminating false accidentals before transposing a staff.Force accidentals - Examine each cross bar tie - Select/highlight the second note of the tie.The TRUE status of the accidental is displayed on the TOOLBAR.If the accidental on the second note differs from it's partner in the earlier bar change it to match using the appropriate accidental tool.The staff should now transpose correctly without hung notes or extended ties.Barry Grahambargrah@hotmail.comhttp://members.tripod.com/~melbmusic Quote Selected
Re: Hanging Notes After Transposition Reply #1 – 1998-02-22 05:00 am If you have a soundcard, another technique can also be used, using your ear as the guide. Select the staff that you want to test, then change the instrument patch that plays for the staff. If you change it to something like an organ (anything with infinite sustain will work), then you will hear any mis-terminated tied notes as "stuck notes" in the playback. If you hear a stuck note, then you can use Barry's procedure to diagnose and correct the source of the problem. Quote Selected
