Let's say I have written few bars for a whole orchestra, all these bars contain just whole notes, but there are many of them. I suddenly decide to change these bars to 3/4.
Is there any way I could select a bunch of notes and change the time value for all of then at once? In Overture you could do this by hitting the number 2 and a dot after it and voila.
I didn't come up with anything else but just selecting a dotted half note to the music cursor and then clicking each of the notes on their corresponding places separately. Is there any faster way?
Also, same question about adding a dot to many notes at once? With staccato this seems to work by hitting 1.

It would also be nice to be able to take an entire section of 4/4 and change it to 2/4. Since Notion lost the ability to place a barline within a bar this takes so much longer to split bars in two and add any necessary ties to suspended notes.

Re: Any way to change the time value of many notes
Select all the notes, press = (equals) and then the note value (i.e, H for Half Note). This will change all the whole notes into half notes.
Alas, you can't then press = (equals) again and press D (to dot them).
A slight inconsistency here. I quite like the Overture method of the applying the selected value to all selected notes.

Ah, thank you! This is precisely what I needed. I didn't remember it exists.
But yes, quite awkward that it doesn't work with dotting.

Re: Any way to change the time value of many notes
I just found out a way to do this! The thing with = is that you have to enter the note value first and then hit d. So even if the notes you want to change are already 1/8-notes, you still have to hit e first and then d. This will produce dotted eighth-notes.
Good news.

Re: Any way to change the time value of many notes
Any way to convert selected notes to corresponding rests? Or at least all to the rests of one kind? Tried = and SHIFT+note value - doesn't work. Any other ideas?
