The "Heal Separation" command is now broken for me, It was working in DP9.0
I use it to "glue" MIDI notes together in the Quickscribe editor

anyone else?

Works for me.

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Heal separation isn't a MIDI command. It's for audio that's been separated and only works when the audio segments match the relative distance the were originally. It has nothing to do with MIDI AFAIK.

It works in MIDI if the notes are butted up against each other, or overlapping. It doesn't seem to work if there's any distance between the two notes (on DP7.24, that is).

[MIDI Life Crisis]

I had no idea. Is there a manual? LOL. Thanks for the lesson, guys.

[bayswater]

I don't think it's for audio. That would be merge. As for MIDI, the manual says there cannot be space between the two things you want to put back together.

[MIDI Life Crisis]

It's definitely for audio.

[Tritonemusic]

It's definitely for audio.

Affirmative.

It's definitely for audio.

Thanks. I didn't realize that.

If I understand Heal, it only works if the two audio sections were previously connected in the underlying recording. But in MIDI you can connect any pair of adjacent notes of the same pitch, not just a previously cut note.

thanks
so how do you "glue" or "merge" two MIDI notes?

Select them, and use the Heal Separation command. There cannot be a gap between them. (A waste of time BTW -- just delete the second note and lengthen the first.)

If there are hundreds of overlapping notes, it's a big time saver, actually. Granted, such a situation isn't very common (for me), but it has happened.

[bayswater]

Good point. Thanks.

I use it all the time in the Quickscribe editor to merge and "Slur" adjacent notes...since i always work with the score in front of me it's handy...

Hey, that's interesting. I never used it within Quickscribe, but will definitely keep it in mind.

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Sometimes notation programs will split extended notes. That's a really good tip in such instances and save a lot of time MIDI editing.
