Trumpet Piccolo transposition

Dear friends,
What is the intervall that I need to enter in order to transpose Trumpet Piccolo Bb?
I need it to be a non-tonal transposition (without key).
It is a Staff Style.

Re: A tool for making harmonics?

I see...

The only way is to Transpose the melody, than to "Add interval below", than to apply TGTools.

I will see if it is possible to automatise this.

A tool for making harmonics?

Friends,
Is there any tool that makes harmonics (for strings, artificial) out from notes?
For instance: for a selected phrase, choose type of harmonics (ex: perfect fourth) and than "Apply". The initial notes are erased and created harmonics of 4ths.

Re: Cautionary custom clef misplaced

I recognize this type of problem; I have had a similar problem with the percussion clef (= two solid vertical bars) as a (downscaled) cautionary clef. My first guess would that you - in the Shape Designer - should edit your custom clef, and move it vertically so that the x-axis (where y= 0) goes th...

Re: Re-measuring again and again

The JW Measure Numbers plugin might be of some use. Also, it might be worth considering waiting until the entire file is done before setting up the measure numbering, to avoid unwanted renumbering if you add measures. I think the JW plugin wiil repair the numbering if it gets discombobulated. N. Th...

… How did you make separate repetitions? … I did not. The repeats are in all the staves. I just used a custom staff style to, not display Barlines and Repeat Bars. Try this: 1) Open my attached document. 2) Staff Tool. 3) Staff menu > Show Staff Styles (select this item) 4) Staff menu > Show Staff ...

Re-measuring again and again

I have piece that is divided in sections, each starting with separate measure number (a1, b1, ...). The problem is that if I add one measure at the beginning, all other measures are re-numbered. So, the a-section finish at b1, and b-section starts where it was b2. How to avoid this? I have so many s...

x instead of dot

In some scores of Rautavaara I have seen that he uses a small x symbol instead of dot to notate the full measure of 5/4.
Is there any way to change the dot to another symbol, only for one note?
