Tremolo marking on stems in Quickscribe?

Post by jstaczek »

Hello All,

Been through the manual and can't figure out whether it's possible to put tremolo slashes on stems in Quickscribe. In fact, I can't find any references to stems at all. Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Jason

I wish it could do this, but I'm afraid it doesn't support it :(

QS is really for making elemental lead sheets and things like that. Nothing really professional, as opposed to the other functions of DP that do rock.

I suggest you let MOTU know about your wishes. Perhaps they might one day listen to enough people and realize that improving QS is the way to go (instead of more guitar plugins).

Anyway, if you are doing a score, you need a professional dedicated music notation app, such as Finale. I think Finale is as good as it gets.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. I use Sibelius for proper music prep, but was using Quickscribe to knock out something fast from a sequence. I'd let MOTU know, but my suggestions over the years have gone into a black hole...
