Joining voices / rests

• Oct 16, 2012 - 13:07

Hello...
I have trouble to join voices. I want to join clarinet II and III to same stave but I got overlapping rests.
I follow these steps:
Select all measures of Clarinet II
Edit -> Voice -> Exchange voice 1-2
Selected all measures of Clarinet III
Copy Clarinet III
selecting 1'st measure of clarinet II
Paste.

The notes come ok but the (half note and quarter note) rest is overlapping.
I expect to got rest for Voice 1 upper space and Voice 2 in lower space (if the rest is in different duration) and rest as normal if the rest in both voices is same duration.
Is that possible (without manually editing every rest?)

There is more elaborate example what I want in example.
The notes in example is pure nonsense but I just focus on rest's.

So the stave 1 and 2 is as written.
Stave 3 is merged stave 1 and 2 to two voices as is produced.
Stave 4 is what I want to do. It's done manually but doing that on over 200 measures and 20 stave's is tedious.
So all the rest's in measure 1-4 and 6 doesn't overlap and I separate it moving up/down to resemble correct voice.
Measure 5 have rest with same durattion on same place and is alreday in rihgt place.
So is there some way to make stave 4 looking output without need to mannualy edit every uneven rest?

Thanks.

Not in 1.2 - rests need to be adjusted manually. Sometimes copy/paste can be an effective tool if you have a lot of similar measures. 2.0 will adjust multivoice rests automatically.

Could you possibly upload a score that causes this crash?

Hello..

I stripped down some other part and latest nightly 6952215 crashes when I select second stave and try to change voice 1 -> 2

I think the crash is now fixed?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (4afe07d) - Mac 10.7.5.

Hi eslavko

I found some other bugs - I hope you don't mind me using your score as an example?

#18797: Undo Exchange Voices causes crash
#18798: Bar rests not restored to former position after Undo Exchange Voices

Also this: #18799: Re-accessing MuseScore and file with impending save causes crash

There is just too much bugs in nightly to keep me away at this time and to use just 1.2 version.
When I have little more time I will try again.

Yes, I would not recommend actually using 2.0 yet for any real work. But if you find an issue in 1.2, it is always worth trying it out in 2.0 to see if it still exists. If not, then there is no need to report the issue.
