switching to Quickscribe takes time & CPU

Post by rockman413 »

Hi , since I'm composing in Quickscribe, every time I go to MIDI editor and come back to quick scribe there's a noticeable wait about 1-2 seconds. and the activity monitor shows as high as 70% during that moment so I suppose CPU is rendering the scores in quickscribe.

Is there a way we can set the quickscribe as default so the CPU does not have to render the scores every time when I switch back from MIDI editor?

I know how to open MIDI editor outside of the consolidated window but I only have limited screens and can't place the MIDI editor on another display...

Can speed it up by only selecting desired tracks before going into Quickscribe. Sometimes I forget and it loads all 450 tracks from the orch template. Now THAT is slow.
