Through this lovely forum I’ve learned that you can move note up and down by an octave with the CTRL U and D keys. I don’t think this is documented, is it?
Anyway, are there shortcuts for moving a selection of notes forward and backwards by a bar?
On an associated Q - I’ve dragged a MIDI part into Synth V but it always appears at the start of bar 1 How do I drag a part to start at a specific bar?
Maybe with some scripts. For another user I have created 2 scripts in the past to move forward/backward to allow a small time shift. So I imagine that I can do it for a bar if you want.
If you said a part as a group of notes, you can do a copy/paste to move it to the desired measure. Make sure before that the editor configuration is set to “Paste at playhead” on the corresponding combobox.
For my part, I wrote a script (GroupCreateFromDAW) to place all the midi parts by draging from the DAW directly to the pre-positioned playhead in the track. It’s a huge time saver for me because all notes are also joined in a group.
I was thinking of dragging by a bar to correctly position notes that had been dragged in from a MIDI part and ended up at the start I guess I’m used to editors having some basic functions and shortcuts…
Thank you too, and I have included both scripts among the others. But they were not displayed, so perhaps with your permission I assigned them a new category = “_JFA_Tools1” and then they were displayed in this new category. I have not been programming for a long time, and age has taken its toll and I would not allow myself to make any major changes. And not anymore in scripts in which I did not program.
