Cutting Notes Manually
You can disable the automatic cutting mechanism of ties in a bar and insert manual cuts at any given position in the score.
Procedure
- Select the Cut Notes tool.
- Open the Quantize Presets pop-up menu, and select a quantize value.
- Optional: Select the voice you want to make settings for.
-
Click the notes whose note value distribution you want to change.
A cutflag event is inserted to indicate that the automatic cutting mechanism was changed manually.
NoteTo insert a cutflag event for all voices in a polyphonic staff, hold down Alt/Opt.
Result
A cutflag event is inserted in the bar at the position you clicked, and the regular cutting mechanism is disabled. If a bar contains a cutflag event, the automatic cutting mechanism is disabled within that bar. All notes or rests that start before and end after a cutflag event are cut at the position of the event. To display cutflag events, make sure that Cutflag is activated on the filters bar.
After Completing This Task
To remove a cutflag event, either click again with the Cut Notes tool at the same position, or select it and press Backspace or Delete.
