Note values in Notation Editor

Post by yperochiakeraiotita »

Hello! Currently running DP10.13 I've always had consistent note values when switching from QuickScribe and Notation Editor.

However, I've noticed over the past few days that note values on Notation Editor is different from QuickScribe, with QuickScribe being more accurate, showing eighth/sixteenth notes while Notation Editor shows only quarter and half notes. Pitches don't have any problems and the ability to adjust the 8va/8vb register is beautiful. Could there be a similar feature for rhythmic values that I haven't been aware of?

Been fiddling with selection information, time formats, zoom menu - all referring to the manual but I can't seem to figure it out with the user-manual but it's either there's no specific instruction on that or my mind is working extra slow today :surrender: :surrender: :surrender:

Thank you in advance!!

Hello,
I’m glad someone brought it up.
The note values between QuickScribe and Notation Editor have never been consistent.
Notation editor should have been upgraded long time ago to match the resolution between the two windows.
QuickScribe resolution of 1/64 is no match to Notation Editor which is only 1/16. Also, Notation Editor window features a continuous scroll and the QuickScribe does not. It is a very useful editing window, so let’s hope for future updates.
