NOTION Music Forum

It would be quite nice if there were a shortcut to be able to select a passage or note, press the shortcut and go straight to the transposition options or even two shortcuts: one to transpose up an octave and one to transpose down an octave.

I do agree: in NOTION, after highlighting or click-selecting the notes involved, it can take as much as five clicks if I want to transpose down an octave: (right-click [CTRL+click] to open the shortcut menu, click Transpose, click at Down, click "1" at Octave, and click the OK button). However, since a user can go up or down an octave in three clicks in PROGRESSION, I'm hopeful we'll be able to trim the number of clicks in NOTION at some point in the future.

Here is a shortcut I would love to see: A one- or two-key click to Toggle(switch) between voices followed by a press of the down arrow.

This could work for selected passages of notes - to change the voice assignment. This could require manually mouse-clicking of the desired notes to be included into a particular voice.

This would save having to go to the menu bar, clicking on the desired voice and then selecting the note value.

I write a good bit multiple voices for choral music - this would be very helpful.

Anybody else think this would be helpful?

I too would like to see a "voice switch" to toggle you through voices. Of course voice color change would indicate which voice part you have chosen.

When writing for orchestral parts, I like to group similar lines together, sometimes I will change a Violin I line to Violin II and then add a new violin I above it. In this case the colors should change.

The hardest part to this is that there is no way I know of inserting a voice part into a measure without replacing what was previously written to a different voice in a particular measure.

I also could use this function for vocal scores with parts using "Divisi" of parts.

Will anyone support this functionality?

If I'm understand your request, then it exists; my most used shortcut: someone else told me on this board

And who told you these shortcuts????

transpose shortcuts:
Arrow up / down - only staff lines
Shift + Arrow up / down - half tones
Ctrl + Shift + Arrow up / down - octaves

Thank you for the tips!
Transposing shortcuts turns out rather useful to me.

I think these shortcuts are work for the Notion music software. Am I right?
I haven't use these shortcut.
