Slash Accent
In Ver. 1.3 the Slash plug-in had provision for accents above the measure. How is this done in 2.0 Beta 2?

Anything you enter in voice 3 or 4 is automatically rendered this way. Voice 3 above staff, voice 4 below.
The controls to override these defaults are in the Inspector. So if you need a slash above the staff in voice 1, for some reason, just create the slashes, then use the Inspector to set the Line property (and set small if desired).

I'm trying to add a value (eighth, sixteenth, etc.) to the line property. Such as eighth or tied eight. Also There is a note from voice 1 in that measure. I used your nightly to create the slashes in voice 3 and Inspector to set the note line and stem placement but I don't see how to make eighth notes.

Not sure what you mean about "making eighth notes". The line property controls the line the note appears on, not the duration of the note. It will appear as an an eighth if it is in fact an eighth. I assume that in this context you are talking about "rhythmic slash notation". Although really, the only difference is whether the notes are stemless or not, and that too can be controlled in the Inspector.

Well Marc, I don't know how I did it but here's the final version:

Should have been as simple as entering those notes into voice 3, selecting voice 3 (using selection filter to skip other voices), and running "toggle rhythmic slash notation". No other steps should have been required.

I must have gone through the back door. Took me forever. Of course, I didn't do it the right way.
Thanks

I decided to give this a test run. I'm using Ver2.0 Beta 2 Nightly 2014-12-31-1119-63c0633.7z.
Here goes: I have a measure with notation on Voice 1. I select "Fill With Slashes". They are entered as Voice 2. I select "Exchange Voice 2-3". I then select "Toggle rhythmic Slash Notation" twice. This puts the proper notation above the top ledger line. I would now think all I need to do is select each notation and change it's properties by selecting it's value in the selections above. It doesn't work. If I depress the Notation button and add a value I get this:

It would help if you explained the desired result. I am not sure *why* you are doing the things you describe doing. And I don't have any idea what you mean by "select each notation and change it's properties by selecting it's value in the selections above" - what specifically are you trying to change? What do you expect to see, and what do you see instead that leads to believe "it doesn't work"?
As I said, creating ordinary accdent notation is extremely simple. At no point should you need to exchange voices or change any properties of anything whatsoever. Simply enter the notes you want as accents into voice 3, select that voice by using the Selection Filter to exclude other voices, and run Toggle Rhythmic Slash Notation. Done - that is all there is too it.
If you are trying to do something more complicated than that, maybe you could show a picture what you are trying to achieve (or a score showing how you did it in 1.3).

Marc I was making it more difficult than it is. Sorry. Thanks it works fine.
