Is there a quick and global way to remove the hidden notes that HP creates, such as on a tremolo artic?

I tried 'Clear MIDI Data" in the Apply HP dialog, but that didn't do it. I could just clear the region and re-enter the notes, but I'd rather not.

I don't have that particular item in the Win version. What other options are there in the Mac version that might work? In Win, there is an item called "Extra HP Items".

Yes, "Extra AHP Items" is one selection in the Clear MIDI Data section of the Apply HP dialog. Ticking that and selecting Clear MIDI Data doesn't remove the hidden notes.

Hidden notes for playback cam be there from the HP plugin or from TGTools Smart Playback. TGTools uses Layer 4. HP uses Voice 2. Make sure which method was used for the hidden notes. TGTools has its own method for removing them.

The HP tool removes the playback notes it created in my program.

Hmm. These notes are in Layer 1. I can edit them in Simple Entry. The first quaver seems to be on top of the minim with the tremolo, but 'after' it in terms of order.

HP does use Voice 2 in Layer 1, so that seems to be from the HP Tool. Maybe we need to see a small sample file for us to experiment with.

P.S.: I just ran another test and the HP Tool removed the Voice 2 notes as expected. So, there is something else up in your file, or there is a difference in how Mac handles things.

Ah, Voice 2. I was on about Layers. But no matter: I've manually removed them all.

You ought to report this then, as it is not working properly. It is probably a Mac only bug, but that should be fixed.
