How to remove extra measures?

[newfields]

I imported a midi file. For some reason Notion for iPad added about 320 extra measures onto the end of it.

How do I remove those?

Thanks!

Hi newfields,

Here's one way:

1. Tap the gear wheel and disable the display of all but one staff (more about this below).
2. Put the cursor in the first unwanted measure. Tap the Select tool.
3. Drag the lower-right handle of the blue selection to the last measure you want to erase.
4. Tap "Cut" from the edit menu.
5. Tap the gear wheel again and re-enable the display of the other staves.

The reason why you should only look at one staff is that this makes it easier to select many measures. It's a little unwieldy in a score with many instruments displayed. And if the selection process is difficult to handle even with just one staff showing, then delete the unwanted measures in 2 or more chunks — as many as you can handle at a time.

Best wishes,
Thorrild

Thanks Thorrild.

Worked like a charm!
