Tacet movement
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Is there any plugin to force all measures in one movement to be one large tacet measure?
The problem is that I have numerous time signature changes; but in the part, the performer doesn't need to know all of that. It is the last movement.

I know of no plug-in, but you can easily put everything on one system and apply a staff style to suppress time signatures, barlines, etc. If it's the last movement you could also push all but the first measure onto a new page and just not print it.

Another way is to have no staff at all - it serves no purpose. Just-

Yes!
Robert Patterson has a plug-in called "force create" in the multimeasure rest submenu. It will make one mm rest regardless of time changes, key changes, etc. I believe he intended it for just this purpose.
After running it you may need to send the mm number off the page and replace with a centered expression.

Well, this is very smart idea, indeed. I will try that imidiateely!motet wrote:I know of no plug-in, but you can easily put everything on one system and apply a staff style to suppress time signatures, barlines, etc. If it's the last movement you could also push all but the first measure onto a new page and just not print it.
Many thanks Motet.

You really can't make it into a single multi-measure rest if there are time signature or key changes. Instead, I add a rest-like symbol as an expression. All a matter of taste, of course.
So here I have all the measures of the movement jammed together, with a staff style suppressing everything.

I will go with this, Motet, since I don't have full Patterson.motet wrote:You really can't make it into a single multi-measure rest if there are time signature or key changes. Instead, I add a rest-like symbol as an expression. All a matter of taste, of course.

Your option works great.
How do you create that long measure rest? Which font - symbols do you use, to combine it into one visual rest?

I think I made, with some effort, a shape expression, but I bet you could you could make a smart line with custom "arrowheads." This would perhaps be better and could stretch to different lengths, and probably not very hard to do.
Thank you, works excellent. Many blessings.motet wrote:OK, here you go! Unzip and load this library and you'll find such a smart line when you Ctrl-click the custom line tool.
