QuickScribe for Dummies questions
I conposed a MIDI fiddle part (triggering Chris Hein
Violin VI) and now I want to open that MIDI track in
QuickScribe, save it as a PDF and email the PDF
to a fiddle player who will learn it and then record
the part on her violin.
I need to do two things with the QuickScribe editor
but I cant figure out how.
1. I want to put the song name at the top of the
chart, and the composer arranger credit below and
to the right of the song name (a la standard charts)
2. There are MIDI notes that were played to trigger
different articulations in the violin VI I used. These
notes are way down at the very bottom of the
keyboard. How do I "erase" them from the QuickScribe
chart?
The rest of the process I have figured out. Any
help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Articulations could go on a separate track or select articulation notes and choose Change Selected Notes to Playback Only from QS mini-menu

Re: QuickScribe for Dummies questions
Not at my Mac right now, but there is a QS tool to add text.
I think it's accessible under the "Show Tool Palette" menu item.
If you wanna get even more fancy (repeat signs, double bars, etc.) you can select "Show Arranged Score". It will look pretty messy when it switches over but it will print normally with whatever changes you make.

Re: QuickScribe for Dummies questions
Also, to give yourself a little more room at the top of page 1, look at the score options and part options in the QS mini-menu. You can make the first page a title page (which gives more room). There are other space saving options, like turning off track names & abbreviations.

Re: QuickScribe for Dummies questions
There are other ways to do it also.
Export as MusicXML and open in a notation program that supports 3.0 (most do but not all). Then you can edit an actual chart. This is very easy in Finale.
Even the freebie, MuseScore can do that. Its pdf export is problematic but, on a Mac, you can use Preview to take screen shots of the pages and assemble them if you don't like the way the app handles it.
You can also use Preview to add text and mark up your original .pdf in a down and dirty approach if you need to. I sometimes do this if I have to add performance notes or make cuts in pdf files I get from conductors.

Re: QuickScribe for Dummies questions
Quickscrbe IS a bit of a mystery sometimes isn't it? The DP golden rule? Look in the mini menu for the window you're in and most of the time you'll find your answer.David Polich wrote:2.

In this case, select the notes you used for keyswitching in ANY editor, then in Quickscribe's mini menu, go to Change Selected Notes to... Playback only. The notes will hide but are still there in all other editors, (Notation, MIDI and Event). In fact, in the Event Window they are clearly labeled "playback-only", next to the KS note. Even if you move the note it will still stay "Playback only."
In fact, if you export the track or file to XML, the hidden notes are not included in the XML file.
Pretty cool.
