How to delete/remove a chord?

• Oct 23, 2010 - 09:49

Is there a simple way of deleting a chord? I am trying to write a simple plugin that joins all repeated notes (so that I can enter longer notes in a melodic line by simple repetition).

Thanks,
Michael.

The plugin framework does not allow to remove a chord. Just like via the UI. You could try to change the ticklen on the the first chord object.

Changing the ticklen does not allow you to get rid of the second note.

Actually, one can *sort* of do this by adding a chord of the appropriate length. If you have two quarter note chords and add() a half note chord at the position of the first one, then the second one seems to be deleted.

However, this fails across measure lines, and if the duration requires a tie. It also seems to generally muck things up. Would it be hard to make the "add()" function do exactly what the UI does when you insert a note? (I.e. replace everything it overlaps, break up and insert ties as required, etc.) That would be quite useful and would allow me to complete my plugin. (also, a prev() method for the cursor would be very useful...)
