PeterthePapercomPoser Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Anyone know of really clever ways to speed things up in Musescore 3? So far I've learned that I can select any rest and press ctrl and a number to get a tuplet with that number of notes in it - the rest selected is then split into that number of appropriate-duration notes. Also - you can hold down the shift key and the arrow keys to select any range of notes/staves and press s to place a slur over them. Or you can select a range of rests and repeat the above steps (ctrl and a number) to prepare an appropriate set of tuplet-rests (making it easier in the note entry mode to place those tuplets where you want them). I'm sure there's plenty more shortcuts! Quote
caters Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 I know more. Here are the other ones I know that you haven't mentioned: Ctrl + Up or Down -> Moving notes up or down an octave Alt + Number -> Add an interval above a note(so for example Alt + 6 would add a sixth above the note) Ctrl + Shift + Delete -> Reset rests in the measure to default Ctrl + Delete -> Remove measures Shift + S -> Stacatto S alone -> Slur Shift + Left or Right -> Extend slurs to following notes(or contract a slur if you find out later the slur is too long(Shift + Left contracts, Shift + Right extends) Shift + V -> Accent Ctrl + G -> Add Figured Bass Ctrl + E -> Add Expression text(so like expressivo or subito piano or any other expressive marking that's italicized in music) Alt + Shift + B -> Add extra measures Ctrl + Alt + Number from 1 to 4 -> Change voice(so like if you have 2 different melodic lines on the same staff for instance, this is useful) 1 Quote
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 @caters Nice! Thanks for your input - that's really helpful! 4 minutes ago, caters said: Shift + Left or Right -> Extend slurs to following notes(or contract a slur if you find out later the slur is too long(Shift + Left contracts, Shift + Right extends) Are you talking about MuseScore 3? I usually use Shift + Left or Right to select the notes I want and then I hit S to slur them all. Quote
