Hi,

In MIDI, there are no bar numbers, so sequencers generally make them up.

So, no, it really doesn't matter.

What I tend to do is insert a bar and then play on, say, beat 4. Then the first full bar is what the sequencer will call bar 2.

Hope this helps.

With best regards,

James.

Ok. So what I actually ment to ask, is if QWS can insert a Bar 0, with other words, an anacrusis, for notes of the melody which begint before the actual bar1.
Or doesn't it matter?
Thank you very much for your support.

Hi,

If you press Ctrl+Home, you'll go to the absolute start of the song, that is, time 0, or position 0.

If you press Home (without the Ctrl), you'll jump to the first beat that contains data.

So, having pressed Insert, to insert some space, or having used the Time Glide tool, you can check if Ctrl+Home and Home take you to different places.

Hope this helps.

With best regards,

James.

Hi James. Long time no chat.
Ok, I tried both ways, but how do I know that it was applied"
It doesn't an-ounceBar 0 or anything. The status bar just shows Bar one, beat one.
Would appreciate if you could help.
Thanks.

Hi,

There are two ways to insert beats (anywhere in a track):

* Method one:
1. Move the cursor to where you want to insert a beat.
2. Press the Insert key - assuming your screen reader doesn't swallow the keypress.

Note: you might like to set the View->Zoom so each press of Insert will insert a particular number of beats. Insert will insert the number set by the Zoom.

3. Repeat for all tracks.

* Method 2:
1. Move the cursor to the position where you want to insert.
2. Select Tools -> Apply to All Tracks.
3. Press Shift + Ctrl + End, so select from your cursor position to the end of the song.

4. Use Tools -> Time Glide and enter the number of beats you wish to insert.

5. Remember to turn off Tools -> Apply to All Tracks afterwards.

Hope this helps.

With best regards,

James.

Hi folks.
I haven't been using QWS for a long time. For three years, that I didn't have the opportunity for using my keyboard, travelling etc.
Anyway, I am working with someone creating film music.
But this song has two notes that has to come before the first bar.
How do I do that again?

And so by the way, does anyone know about a midi sequencer for the Mac without installing Windows on my Mac?
Something for the Mac?

Thanks.
Dewald.
