Halving tied notes without losing ties

• Jul 6, 2024 - 06:00

I use Musescore for composition, and there are times when I have a tied note spanning a few measures. A lot of times I need to, for example, change the dynamics or other plating technique of that note at a particular point, but retaining the tied series of notes.
It would be great if I had a quick shortcut to turn a tied whole note for example into two continuing tied half notes. Im wasting a lot of time and attention dividing multiple notes, then tying them all back together.

I don't know exactly how you do it, but it's really trivial to get the desired result quickly without any further shortcuts. First thing: switch to note-entry mode. Then type 6 (for the half note value), and finally type the note name + T (the tie shortcut). It goes really fast, as you can see from the GIF below.
