How to select a continous range of notes in one voice
This appears to be a question that has been asked a number of times, but without getting a direct answer.
What am I trying to do ?
In my score, I have a section containing two voices.
I want to select all notes in this section within voice 1, and then push them all up by one octave.
What have I tried ?
Different variations of shift + click, control + click, click on first note and then see what is available in the context menu.
Results :
All forms of range selection will select all voices in multiple measures (except selecting each note one at a time of course). The selection context menu option gives a dialog which does not permit specifying a single voice.
I even looked at transposition, but could not see where I could specify a single voice.
Does this mean that this is simply not possible in v2.03 ?

Nice one Shoichi, thanks.
Yes, this does exactly what I am needing.
For anyone else stumbling across this discussion, here is how to go about this kind of selection.
There you go, simple when you know how !

Thank you, this is so helpful! I spent so much time trying to figure this one out. Now I can select one out of a number of voices. The next think I am hoping to figure out it to make this voice somewhat stronger. When I select one note, it seems I can increase the volume to the right. But -- when I select several, throught your great tip, that no longer seems possible. Any advice?

Great information. This may be a change in v.3, but I find that the order is to check the voice in the selection filter first, then select the range of notes. Only the selected voice will be highlighted and can be manipulated.

This is often the best answer for operations that can be done on “list” selections - Inspector settings, applying palette items, etc. but if you need the select for things that require ranges, like copy/paste, you’ll need to stick with the Selection Filter.

This doesn't work. You need to open the selection filter first, select the voice, then select the range of notes.
For the record, while this is indeed usually the easiest way, the context menu *does* provide a way to select by voice as well. Select / More brings up a dialog, then check Same voice.

Totally agree ... if you are wanting to select the whole score.
However, if you select, say, measures 9-12 in a 52 measure score and use this dialog, all the measures of the score containing this voice are selected.
You loose your restricted, measure 9-12 selection.

Good point. Most likely you could still get there by using some multi-stage operation using combination of the other options in that dialog (eg, subtract from selection, etc), but the filter is obviously the better way to go.

I'm doing just this, Select -> More, then Same voice and it selects all notes. Any way to select only one voice? The other option with Selection filter doesn't work. I click on Voice 1 and it does nothing.
