How to remove double notes

• Jun 7, 2025 - 15:06

On a sheet that has multiple notes (chords), but I'd like only the highest note (usually melody), how to in one step remove all the lower notes.

Matt, I did the following and it didn’t work.
1) Add a new instrument (Piano) to the score (below the existing).
2) Mark the whole first line from start to end. I assume it’s
a) Highlight “Bless” (first word)
b) Right mouse click bringing up submenu
c) Select->More…
d) Check “Same Subtype: Verse 1”
e) Click “OK” (which I assume means your “Mark the whole first line…”
3)Click on "Tools" Menu, choose the second entry (in German it says "Verteilen.” The first entry is “Transpose,” the second entry is “Explode”:
Transpose
Explode
Implode
Realize Chord Symbols
Voices >
Measures >
Remove selected range
…. “unsoweiter, usw, usw”
At this point nothing happens
