Hi all,
Maybe it's the long weekend, but I'm coming up blank on this.
I have a score where all the note rhythms are exactly the same,
consisting
of interleaved tuplets (sixteeenth tuplets of 7:6, 5:4, 4:4 and 3:2).
The
composer would like them spaced according to their absolute
positioning in
time. Unfortunately, because these are tuplets interleaved by hand
(yes,
these are the same scores I've mentioned before) and I can't use any of
Finale's spacing algorithms. Finale doesn't allow partial tuplets, so
it
just resets the notes to their 'normal' un-interleaved positions.
All the notes have been entered, and the systems are locked.
Unfortunately,
this was finished before the need for time-grid positioning became
clear. I
know I could copy one measure over and change the note values, but
this is
pretty far along and I'd prefer not to re-enter the scores (six of
them).
The positions are so precise (to 1/105th of the measure width) that
lining
up each measure can take 15-20 minutes. Once I have one master measure
done, is there a way to copy *only* the absolute note positioning from
one
measure into other measures? As I said, all the measures have exactly
the
same rhythmic content.
Thanks,
Dennis
Under "Items to Copy"... Measure Items... Note Positioning doesn't do
it? I don't know how it would apply to partial tuplets...
Copying measures and altering the pitches might not be as bad as it
sounds, especially once you count repeated measures that won't require
any alteration. You might have it all done in a day or less.
