Split staff function for live MIDI input on 3.5

• Sep 24, 2020 - 22:19

Having read Marc Sabatella comments and page 198 of the Manual, I was looking forward to using the split staff function to (imperfectly) separate RT and LT hand live MIDI input.

I am a adult Covid re-beginner (any of you out there??). I watch a You Tube piano tutorial on a song and like to capture in on sheet music. Then I go back and note the cords etc (helps me learn cords as I was taught classical/ sight reading as a child). PREVIOUSLY I had been starting w the grand staff and then doing one hand at a time.

This time I tried opening a Trebel clef only. Right clicking on first rest and selecting split staff. Once I have created both T and B Clefs then I selected C4 to split.... Didn't work. If I start in T Cleft then all notes stay there and visa versa.

Don't want to get into a debate about other software or how people wish it could be better. Even as intended it will "split" my time in half.

Thanks,

Rob

Your scenario is unclear to me. For split staff I right-click an empty part of the staff, not a rest. The command creates the additional staff, not something I have to do myself (so I don't understand your "once I have created" comment).

Consider attaching the file you've started from and then step by step walking us through what we should do to see the failure.
