Re: Esc key - and beaming across staves
Hi, jss:
As far as I can see, use of the SPACE key (largest key on the keyboard) to start and stop playback is pretty much industry standard. There are exceptions, but those are usually "extreme"...

Good luck.

Re: A new text tool
Part of the question regarding implementation is where does it make the most sense (and intuitiveness) to add that aspect of the feature?
My feeling is that is should definitely be a text object,...

Here's a wish-list item for version 4 that I've been thinking about recently.

Re: Pushing the PDF envelope
Thanks, Sherry.
On my screen, I don't see the collisions in the notation that you highlighted, so it's interesting that it comes up differently on different systems.
The formatting was locked...

Pushing the PDF envelope
Hi, guys:
What I'm trying to do admittedly pushes the envelope for PDF export further than you may have envisioned.

Re: Volume Saving
Hello, Impulse:
Notation Composer has no provision for globally changing and saving the overall volume of a piece. As Herbert noted, the Volume slider is only a temporary "wood-shedding" tool.

Re: Volume change of Selected Staves.
Hi, Impulse:
To permanently change the volume of one or more staves, you can use the Staff Setup to enter an initial numeric value for each staff.
Alternatively, for changes within the music,...

Re: 2x (2nd Time) Only in Repeats
Hi, Ralph, Sherry:

Re: Accurate freehand notation?
Hi,
That's what Composer was created for in the first place.

Hi,

I did have to add an empty bar to the beginning to hear the first scoop. I think the "silent" attack time was...
