mellodee Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Is is possible to have some bars of a score in Piano 1/3 style be instead in Piano 1+2/3? My goal is to have these selected bars display "retained notes" in one voice, for example have the right-hand thumb on a note for the full bar while the other right-hand fingers play other notes. For this I would need to switch from my usual Piano 1/3 style to Piano 1+2/3 style (otherwise in Piano 1/3 style the note hit first by the thumb will not appear to be "retained" for the full bar). But if I switch to Piano 1+2/3 for the specific bar, it assumes that Piano 1+2/3 is set for all bars and the score then includes whole note (assuming a 4/4 time signature) rests (for empty voice 2) in every bar except the one for which 1+2/3 was intended, which I find ugly. Moreover, the score displays an unwanted rest in voice 1 at the start of the bar. This is not what I see in classical scores, for example, in the first 8 bars of Chopin's prelude number 6.https://musescore.com/classicman/scores/68550, the first 7 bars do show "retained" notes (D and F# in the right hand in bar 1), while the 8th bar has none, and the score does not show any unneeded rests. I tried cutting the specific bar into a separate region. But (as far as I know), if I wish a full score, I need to join the regions, and if I do that, then a single score style will be adopted. Is there any simple solution to alternate score styles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellodee Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 I found the solution: 1) Select style Piano 1+2/3 2) Duplicate style (while clicking on the style) 3) Open staff style window (while clicking on the style) 4) Select Hide for Rest for channel 2 I hope this helps others.
