I have never heard a musician start a whole note (for example) 1/32 before the end of a bar and then tie it the rest over into the next one. Being no more a 'musician' than a blacksmith would be a machinist, I still suspect that by forcing the use of let's say at least 1/8ths the digitizingware would push the note into the next bar. I'm convinced of this, the poor quality of digitizingware isn't the abundance of human feel (that you'd risk losing) but the exact opposite. Isn't it possible to nix cross-bar ties already in rosegarden? I vaguely remember something along such lines. I say experiment, I would... :-) Make some optional toggleable rules and try them in turn: If less than 1/16 of a note would be tied across then begin the note in the next bar or end it in the current one as the case may be Same for rests Try larger/smaller values, listen for differences. ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

No DAW has this? IMHO the thing is that doing this 'a priori' might be slippery, because in some cases you do want a recording to include (some) little 'imperfections' which make it sound more 'live' / 'human' Recording MIDI (versus audio) does have the advantage of enabling different forms of post-processing and editing including quantization (also deciding how much), correcting wrong notes, transpositions etc. Step recording can be an in-between solution to enter notes with a (musical) keyboard and exact times/durations (you can activate it both in the notation and matrix editor in Rosegarden - makes sure the track is also armed to record!) My two cents. Lorenzo Thanks Joseph On 5/19/23 06:15, krsg...@trixtar.org wrote: Fri, 19 May 2023 00:42:45 -0400 Ted Felix : Quantizing can be used for two main purposes: 1. To make sheet music that looks good. 2. To make your performance sound more "perfect". I have used it a few times to clean up bars in red and rests and that worked fairly well. But (my 2 cents) problems should be attacked at the root cause, and THAT is the digitizing-ware that writes midi tracks (tried many before giving up). I always figured that users turning to such apps should have the opportunity to direct the the software to use no shorter than 1/8 or 1/4 notes for example, it would always be easier to clean up form that end than from this other one as it were.
