Score +parts a2/tutti support

• Feb 5, 2019 - 22:36

Currently, the way to generate parts from a score is to write the parts in different voices. This is a great, intuitive, and easy, until you get to tutti/a2 sections. In scores, these sections are written in the first voice and marked 'a2, a3,' or however many instruments are on that staff. In MS3, that means to get it to look correct, you must write a line in first voice, then rewrite the same line in second and perhaps third. Then mark every single pieces of those other voices invisible.

This is a staggering amount of work. It also confuses the parts generator, so you need to mark all notes visible again in the parts once generated.

Several suggestions on solving this: A way to highlight some measures and mark them as a2 or tutti, so that MS3 will know that every voice/part on that stave should have that section.

A fifth voice that is 'all voices' and looks like first, but generates parts to every voice used.

A tool to easily duplicate voices and have the first voice automatically go back to the way it's supposed to be if there were no voices (this does not happen with any voice other than 2nd).
