Cross-stave arpeggio
If there is a way to get cross-stave arpeggio (which is not uncommon in piano scores, for example), I would apprciate being told how. If not, I would make that a feature request.

If you mean a written out arpeggio see cross staff beaming . If you are asking whether the squiggly arpeggio line can cross both staves, I do not believe it can yet.

has anyone been able to verify that some squiggly arpeggios work and others don't? I first mentioned this problem here: http://musescore.org/en/node/1319
If you listen to the file, every chord is supposed to be arpeggiated, but there are a few that aren't.

@MDMilford: When I listened to it the first time, my guess was it had something to do with having so many arpeggios right after each other. Another thing I noticed (if I remember correctly) changing the tempo changed which arpeggios played back correctly and which sounded like block chords.

I went to your original post, downloaded the score and did a little experiments on it, and I can confirmed that your suspicion was correct: Some of the chords are indeed not arpaggiated. The audio impression is further confirmed by examining the midi file's note events. And the behavior is the same whatever tempo you are using, though the effects are more easily discernable at some tempo than others.
This actually open a whole can of worms regarding midi output (and playing of scores, since I assume the same mechanism is used to generate the midi events to feed the midi file maker and fluidsynth). I will switch over to continue the discussion in MDMilford's original thread on arpeggios.

I did mean the squiggly arpeggio line crossing both staves. So please make that a feature request. Thanks.
Hi, I've got the same problem since long time.
My question is: has this problem been solved since 2009?
I need that cross-stave arpeggio ( crossing two staves) in my piano and harp scores quite often.
Thank you for helping me - Wolfgang

It has always been possible in all 1.X releases to double click an arpeggio and then extend it upwards or downwards to extend multiple staves; this will remain possible in 2.0.

For the eyes the arpeggio is visible.
But when I transfer that score as MIDI file into my Logic X the sound is wrong.
The arpeggios are not Cross-stave in sound.
That's my problem in musescore...

You can always add an arpeggio marking to both chords. Make it invisible and extend the other to cover it to get it both looking and sounding good.

Hi
Feel free to subscribe to this: #23100: Snap To for glissando

Thanks for your comments.
Nevertheless I think my problem remains unsolved.
The arpeggio I would like to hear should be one continuing arpeggio, not two simultanously.
That sounds very different.
If two hands arpeggiate at the same time it's sometimes too massive.
As far as I understand, MuseScore has no solution to it.
Maybe something slipped my attention...

You are correct, it's subtly different. Do keep in mind, the primary purpose of MuseScore is notation, not playback. and the method I describe achieves this primary purpose. In MuseScore 2.0, you may also be able to get results like you want using the built in piano roll editor, but it will take some tweaking. And if for some reason you really more control over the playback than you can get that way, you can always export to MIDI and do that in a program better suited to that sort of fine-grained contro over playbackl.

I totally agree with your explanations.
I have done that task several times in Logic X.
But it's no fun ;-(
A Notation program is meant to control the different kinds of playing.
For instance it differentiates staccato from Legato.
Now isn't it possible to differentiate two kinds of arpeggiato?
I always export my notation is MIDI into Logic.
That's a great deal on one hand side, on the other side there are these bugs, as I see it.
May be there is a way out for the engineers ( hopefully).
I appreciate working with MuseScore, although I have Finale 2014 too, not yet studied.

Just to concur with Marc, see the FAQ .
I would encourage users with queries pertaining to playback to bare in mind what was/is likely to have been the mindset of the MuseScore developers: You have an application thats intention is to produce sheet music to be printed and played by real players (if it failed in this sole aspect, users may have disregarded the software without even considering anything else), but it doesn't have playback - users are most likely to request this, so it is implemented as a 'better than nothing' solution (to check for mistakes, or whatever).
Of course, it would be nice to have improved playback, but visuals must have priority.
If the aforementioned issue (#23100: Snap To for glissando) is implemented, it would address your request in full - visually and aurally.

Thanks again chen lung.
I can take and like MuseScore as it is and make the best of it ;-)
