I need help to manage ties and slurs across 1st and 2nd time bars please.
Please see attached picture. In bar 4 I need a continuation of the slur and the tie but cannot seem to find a way to do this or am
I missing something while inputting? Any ideas?
Canât see the image, but the best solution I have heard recently is to use the âlvâ tie property and extend it in Engrave mode.
Thanks for that. I attached the example as a file: I will try to send the image again. I have the same problem with slursâŚby the wayâŚ
Thereâs no proper solution for this at the moment, as indicated by Derrek, but you can try using the l.v. tie property to add a tie to the note at the start of the second ending, and then move it leftwards in Engrave mode.
OK Daniel and Derriek, thank you both.
âŚ"use the âlvâ tie property " How do I manage to do this please? I have searched the Manual without success.
When you select a note and open the Properties panel at the bottom of the window, youâll see a property called âLaissez vibrer tieâ. Switch this on. Youâll then need to move it manually in Engrave mode.
Thanks Daniel, I am now up and runningâŚ'till the next time!
Is it also true that there is currently no way to show ties extending into the second ending?
In the attached picture, it would be normal practice to show the rightmost part of ties into that C&F in the downbeat of the 2nd ending.
Thatâs the lv tie. Youâd then just flip it backwards in Engrave mode.
OK. I missed the backwards part. Iâm glad I asked.
That workaround takes care of tie. What about the slur?
Same deal. Youâd just need to tweak it to make it appear exactly as you want.
I need a tie into the beginning of a note that lasts almost four measures, as in the attached image.
Am I missing something, or does the L.V. tie work-around not work in this situation?
If it does, how do I move the tie?
Thanks!
You canât attach a âreverseâ LV to the beginning of a tie chain. Edit: AFAIKâŚ
Instead, switch to voice 2, add a whole note E (or whatever), attach a reversed LV tie to THAT note, move it down to middle C, and set the voice column index to 0, which will âhideâ it behind the original C.
To be honest, it was a pain in the neck. But it works. Thatâs the best solution I know of.
Thanks, Dan!
When I set âVoice Column Spacing Offsetâ to 0, nothing happened. To hide the note, I had to set it to - 1 7/8 spaces. See attached image, âEngrave modeâ.
But when I go back to write mode, it looks the attached image, âWrite modeâ.
Thoughts?
Did you definitely set the latter voice to column index 0? Iâm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, sorry. Voice Column index set to 0 definitely works. To be safe, set them both to 0.
In Write mode, are you perhaps in Galley View? Galley View sometimes doesnât show those kinds of modifications correctlyâŚ
Ah, I see the problem!
I hadnât seen the âVoice Column Indexâ parameter (in the âNotes and Restsâ section of the Properties window). I was editing âVoice column spacing offsetâ in the âNote Spacingâ section.
Now I got it.
Two problems, though:
-
The fix applied only to the score. I had to do it separately on the part.
-
Adding the L.V. tie flipped the regular tie, and, when I flipped the regular tie back down, it was lower than the subsequent ties, requiring more tweaking. (Maybe the L.V. tie was somehow âpushingâ it down.)
Allâs well now, though.
I hope the team implements a fix for this soon. I agree, itâs a pain.
Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated.
