Piano Roll vs Score page

[Jeff]

So far like the upgrades in the score part of FSP8.1. Somehow leaning to play piano somehow made me "like" scoring pages better than piano roll for "seeing" the music. Piano roll better for changes, but scoring better to see while listening to elements in a piece. Anyone else here have that perspective?

I’m a reader, so for me yes. But the main problem is the accuracy of the score interpretation from live midi recording. Fender has some development to do in this regard. I would suggest a separate score quantise that is capable and is musically adaptive etc.

The other thing that I have noticed in the past (the latest version may have fixed this) is the fact if you lengthen or shorten a note in the key edit window, the edit does not show correctly in the score edit page.

Intestinally enough, I change an 8th to a whole note, but it shows a half with two dots, which would be a whole note. Perhaps not as elegant as posting a whole note, but still proper notation. Look at the image. So, yes it does show correctly.

A double dotted minim is equal to 3.5 crotchets and not a whole note in 4/4 time. I think the whole note is represented as a double dotted minim because you also have a quaver in the same bar etc.

I haven’t been near the computer lately, I’ll have to spend some time in the near future experimenting with the score edit page and see what is or is not correct in display!
