Some questions about Composer.

[Sherry C]

Hi John,

Thanks for the screenshot. It is always helpful to see how some programs have handled a particular feature.

For Composer, you can try it out (if you haven't already) by using the trial version from www.notation.com/Download.php

Our MIDI viewing and editing has a "layover" presentation. You can view certain MIDI performance parameters by using the View options. Using the particular "tab" for those allows you to edit the parameter. So, for instance, you could View Note Velocity and edit the Mod Wheel at the same time, and see both of them overlaying the notation.

Herbert, thanks for your tips on the Garritan libraries. I'm always learning new things from you

ttfn,
Sherry

My pleasure.

One further question, if I may, when a phrase mark is entered in notation, do the affected notes (except the last) get automatically extended in length so that they overlap the following note. This is required e.g. by GPO in order to get legato playing. Additionally is cc#68 (MIDI Legato Footswitch) turned on after the first note of the phrase and off again after commencement of the last note? This removes the attack portion of the sample being used with non-percussive instruments in ARIA.

Kind regards,
John.

Phrase markings ("slurs" in Composer parlance) currently are not automatically applied to the MIDI performance, but only as score annotations. (We do have a "wish list" which includes having all such markings and annotations be "smart" and automatically apply also to the underlying performance.) This is a case where you would use Piano Roll to select and lengthen notes, and can then also overlay the cc68 graph and edit that as well.

Hi John,

I have posted on the other thread for you and all my other friends some church music. This song is still under construction.

Stick around. I should have time on the weekend for further discussions.
