Dotted rhythms
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2020 6:50 pm
A dream and some suggestions:
I wish there was a function that could simplify one of the most common - and aggravating - tasks a music writer faces: dotted rhythms.
Suppose you could select two equal notes, say, two 8ths, and turn them into a dotted 8th-16th, either from a keyboard "D" or clicking an icon.
And in similar fashion, suppose you could take a string of notes or measures and simply select them and click an icon labeled "swing" - again, one of the commonest things in all music, to swing and go straight at will. I fight, I fight, I fight with this thing trying to get dotted notes and swings working right.
