Copy/paste a chord - pitch only

• Jul 26, 2020 - 13:23

Maybe somebody here can relate... Anyway, I run into this issue all the time. Re-pitch is a great function, but if I have to fill an entire measure of rhythmic accompaniment based on just one chord, re-entering the same stack of notes over and over again is anything but quick/productive and really "puts me in the mood", if you know what I mean.

Now Musescore does have this nifty feature where by clicking a single notehead, you can copy just the pitch in order to then paste it elsewhere, without even resorting to note input mode. The problem is, this is completely useless when used for a single note. I mean, I might as well enter the pitch by pressing a specific key that represents it. Whereas if implemented for multiple notes at a time, this would be a killer feature. No need for it to work within different voices or for more than one duration at a time. My understanding of programming and the program's architecture is more than limited, but it seems that there are no major obstacles in the way.

Pretty please, make it happen (or let me in on why it's not possible).

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it sounds like you are talking about exactly what the "R" command does in regular note input mode. Just enter a chord, press "R" and the whole chord is repeated. Press it as often as you want to repeat it as often as you want.

If this isn't what you mean, please attach a sample score and explain in more detail what you are trying to do. Then we can understand and assist better.
