A nice summary of CC transform methods. I feel my question may not have been clear regarding input to Sibelius. I was wondering how you 'Input' your data to Sibelius? Do you use a MIDI keyboard or other controller of some kind etc? I was trying to get at what generates CC11 and change it at source to CC1 before your data is recorded into Sibelius. Or is this CC11 data generated as a parameter working directly within Sibelius itself?

Great you've got it working. You're welcome! Love the job interview story - best jobs come that way - just say yes! ha ha

OK great. You have it working. Also - I'm working Notator/EMagic old school Environment here - I'm sure others on the forum may have much more elegant LOGIC 10 solutions. Let's break down my Environment steps so any note shift is possible. The buttons in my Project V2 are not necessarily needed. They just allow on screen change control. The "Map knob to 3 poz" transform is also not necessarily needed. I find the Rotary Knob input steps 0-127 are too fine grained for this workflow. That is why I mapped 127 steps into chunkier steps. It just makes it easy to control Rotary Knob input to Cable Switcher as "left=0, centre=1, right=2" only. In my Project V2 the environment transform "Map knob to 3 poz" takes the 1-127 output of my Rotary Controller and maps three ranges of values 0-42 =0, 43-86=1, 87-127=2. This needs to happen after the "Physical Input" and before the "Cable Switcher". Project V3 attached maps input from External CC 20 → "Map knob to 5 poz" → Cable Switcher. You can add multiple transform objects after the Cable Switcher. You need to decide what order you want them in. If it's octave steps I would put lowest first in the chain. I've mapped CC 20 values range of 0-127 of "Map knob to 5 poz" before the 'Cable Switcher'. As I have five objects to switch I mapped 5 steps: 0-25=0; 26-50=1; 51-75=2; 76-100=3; 101-127=4 turning my Rotary Knob into a 5 Position sweep - makes it easy to control the Cable Switcher changes. For more objects after Cable Switcher, then more, smaller CC 0-127 mapping steps will be needed. Get the idea? Have fun and make music! Fader Transpose Notes v3.zip

Hi All you need to do is decide what controller / CC you will use and assign this as input for each switch and edit the first transform to match. I've reset the environment so CC 20 triggers the three buttons. As I'm using a rotary knob I've set the CC transform with mapped values 1/3 (0-42) =0 , 1/3 (43-86) = 1, 1/3 (87-127) = 2 for each step to trigger the octave switcher.

FWIW @JMComposer How are you creating/obtaining MIDI stems in Sibelius. Is it possible to change input device for Sibelius to generate MIDI CC 1 not 11? Sibelius manual indicates various controllers can be used for Dynamic effect.

Hi I've had to deal with this importing MIDI files. My workflow uses a saved project template with the Event List window as focus: In Event List only 'Controller' is highlighted. Import MIDI Select track Click CC event in list Shift-D select all same CC events and change CC Number. Transform Articulations.zip

Hi Here's a project with an environment setup that will transpose octaves - old school. Others here may know a much more elegant way to do this now. Cheers Fader Transpose Notes.zip

FWIW You can alter Horizontal position of notes with the 'Layout Tool' . However, the visual outcome might not make musical sense if there is more than one stave as with the half note in examples below. Altering vertical position of notes visually on the stave wouldn't make sense unless you want a different pitch!

Hi Miguelli If I understand you - you want a 12/8 dotted quarter to become a 4/4 quarter feel but keep original tempo feel? This implies conversion into triplets. If you are dealing only with MIDI I would suggest saving all midi data as a midi export. Copy your project and set the copy to 2/3 tempo of 130BPM - 86.6666 with time signature of 4/4. Import midi file and in MIDI transform divide speed and position by 3 then multiply by 2. Then drag all midi back to original start position. Samples attached. 12_8.zip 4_4 86.zip

@Jordi Torres Thanks heaps - very generous of your professional time. Really cool - just plugged your script into a template and works like a dream.

Hi Jordie Torres That sounds very generous and helpful! OS 10.14.6 LPX 10.4.6

Hi @ Jordi Torres Your script sounds incredibly useful. Downloaded your file but my LOGIC 10.4 is giving an error message that the file is not compatible with my program version. Any possibility of getting a project version for older LOGIC prgs?

Hi All My searches have found no answer for this and I might be just misunderstanding something simple! Setting up a template and I have a number of grouped Channel Strips with Surround output. In Group Settings only 'Pan' - 'Stereo Out /Stereo Pan ✔︎' and 'Stereo Out /Balance ✔︎' get linked but not 'Stereo Out /Binaural ✔︎' or 'Surround'. Is there any way to group for 'Surround' edits? Thanks for any ideas that can clarify this for me.

It can get confusing with Note+Octave naming conventions not being directly tied to the MIDI Spec. MIDI Note #60 could sound any played note depending on what settings/tunings/offsets you have on an instrument patch. I always have to double check as I have multiple outboard instruments that all have different names for Middle C, most usually C3 or C4. The OP will need to determine what their Middle C note is named by LOGIC and use that name in the 'FLIP' Transform. LOGIC sees my KORG keyboard C4 as MIDI #60 (which aligns with Scientific Pitch Notation, or approx. 261 Hz in A440 Tuning).

Apologies David - I did't mean to sound like I was correcting you! I had been unclear with my original answer - and my pic only showed the last note offset data - which was no help. I was fixing my original answer for the OP that the inversion needs to happen on MIDI Note #60 for Middle C.
