How does this work?

Posted

I have two chords - Bb and a Gm . I tried to take a D whole note and drag the length across from the Bb measure to the next measure which was the Gm. However the D note won't sound in that second measure unless I draw another D note . Basically I want two whole notes tied Across two measures. Why would it not sound since the D note is part of each of those chords? Why would it be this difficult .Do I have to set the voice leading different?

Thanks for any help.

I think you will want to look into setting the hold property on the D note and also (possibly) changing the auto-split in the voice leading.

Thanks Keith for your input. If I turn the auto split off it will hold the D note through the chord change. I don't like the idea of keeping the auto split off.I tried using the hold button in the phrase editor but that did not hold the note through the change. If I draw a note for each measure and then click on the tie button it will work. That would make it difficult if I should want ,lets say , four quarter notes in a row later on .With the tie button on it just makes it a whole note. It still doesn't make sense why the D note won't hold through the change. I guess I need some kind of understanding of how this program interprets it.

Actually the hold button should do the trick. That should disable auto-split for that particular segment.

I'll check if this is a bug, or if I just forgot something important at the moment.

:oops:

I /was/ a bug and I fixed it now. It will be included with 1.1.5 (will post a list of changes soon).

Thanks Andre, but shouldn't that D note hold through the Bb to Gm chords anyway. If the program interprets voice leading and D is the common tone of both chords why wouldn't it sound the D note instead of cutting it off. To my way of thinking I should not have to go into the phrase editor and click on hold for a common tone note. Just for some understanding can you explain why this happens.

Thanks,Joe

You are right. The D note should sustain.

In case it's just the length of the note that gets shortended: I found a bug today that occurs with "experimental features" enabled. Due to an issue with the Chromatic parameter, notes can get truncated while the auto-split is in process. This is fixed now, but you would have to wait for 1.1.5.
