Music Spirit Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 If you want to change the note heads ( via Note Atrributes ) of a group of notes from normal head to X head.. it doesnt seem possible to do this operation to a selection of notes - it seems to me you can only change a single individual note head at a time? Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances O Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi Works fine here - I can't see 'Note head' as a menu choice in the Note Attributes menu. However, in score editor, if you highlight notes you want to change. Then drag the required note head symbol from the part box at left onto any of the highlighted notes - all selected notes should change at once.

volovicg Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It is not available from the functions note attribute drop down. You must highlight the note, and right click on it. This menu will appear... There you can change the note heads Edit: reading your question - you are asking more about more than one note... No the note attribute dialogue is on a per note basis. If you want to change more than one note you must either do them individually using the note attribute menu option or if you want to do more than one, you must select the notes to be affected and drag and drop from the part box.....

Music Spirit Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Thanks for the replies - I tried drag and drop. It doesnt work. Am I missing something? https://www.dropbox.com/s/oskqsuoj4ywdhy9/Noteheads%20dont%20change%3F.mp4?dl=0 [ PS How would you turn the above Screenflow video into a .gif within the post? ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 When changing noteheads the staff style "head" parameter needs to be set to "normal" for variants in note heads to be applied. When you have Finger or Names defined in the staff style - you cannot change the note heads manually as the staff style setting over-rides it... So what you can do is set the notes you want to change to a different midi channel ( polyphonic staff style) - set those notes to "normal" in the staff style and them apply your global note head changes. So the issue in your video where the note heads will note change is because in the your staff style you have all notes set to "names" ( hence over-riding any manual note head changes).

Solution Music Spirit Posted May 5, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted May 5, 2021 A totally brilliant solution thank you! I would never have got my head round this… By the way the example chart is not really where I had the original problem - I would not normally turn the top note Of a chord into an X - note head But the solution still stands...
