NUENDOTips and Tricks 18 – 311 Polyphonic voicing tip If you are working on a full score with more than one instrument in one staff (2 flutes,2 trumpets etc.), you should use polyphonic voices. And even if both instruments play the same notes, you should insert notes for both instruments (you can mute the notes of the second voice, if playback is an issue). If you do this, it will be much easier to extract single parts later (by using the “Extract Voices” command). Using the bar handles These are great for copying accents, but you can also use them for copying drum phrases, etc. •If you hold down [Shift] and double click on a bar handle, this and the next bar are selected. This is handy when copying phrases of two or more bars in one go. Copying a section with “invisibles” If you want to Copy and paste a section which contains hidden ele- ments, adjusted beams and stems etc., there are two ways to proceed: •Use the filter bar to make indicators appear in the score. Then select these indicators together with the notes before you copy. This ensures the notes are copied with their formatting etc. •Double click the bar handle of one of the bars, and make sure all rele- vant event types are checked in the dialog. Then select the bars you want to copy by clicking their bar handles, and copy them by [Alt]/ [Option]-dragging the bar handles. Using “Scores Notes To MIDI” This function converts the score data, as displayed, to MIDI data. You might run into a situation when your score is displayed to 99% of per- fection. That last 1% forces you to turn off functions in the Staff Set- tings dialog (like Clean Lengths, No Overlap and Auto Quantize) which makes the other parts of the score illegible. In this case, try “Scores Notes To MIDI”. But work on a copy of the track! For more info, see page 57.
NUENDO18 – 312 Tips and Tricks Optimizing rests If you have a number of consecutive empty bars you can replace them with one multiple rest. See page 253. Zero system lines Having no system lines at all might seem like a stupid idea to start with. But, this option allows you to create chord sheets really quickly. See the Make Chord Symbols feature described on page 212. A lead sheet created by specifying “0” system lines. Examples and scales If you are creating scale examples and similar, you can use the Real Book option and manually hide all symbols at the beginning of the first staff to make the score appear like separate unconnected “lines”. For scales, remember you can also hide the bar lines. An example scale without bar lines.
NUENDOTips and Tricks 18 – 313 Controlling the order and appearance of grace notes Normally, grace notes are beamed. Their order under the beam is controlled by their order in the track. It is enough to put a grace note one tick before the next grace note to make them appear in the de- sired order under the beam. Initially the grace notes are put in with a 32nd note beam. By double clicking the note and changing the “flag” type in the Set Note Info di- alog, you can change this. Complex grace notes. Speeding up inserting key changes If you have a grand staff with many instruments, inserting key changes one by one can take an awful lot of time. If you instead insert the new key on one staff and hold down [Alt]/[Op- tion] when clicking with the Pencil tool, this key change is inserted on all staves in the grand staff. Speeding up inserting staccato and accents Symbols linked to notes can also be put in for a number of notes at the same time, even on different staves. See page 171. Setting the distance between staves in a piano score Drag the first bass staff on the first page. This will copy the spacing to all staves. Please note that this can only be done in Page Mode.
NUENDO18 – 314 Tips and Tricks If you wish you had a faster computer Here are some tips for those who find some operations slower than they would like: •Work on a smaller section of the score at a time. Break the piece up into parts and work on those parts individually until the final layout stage. •Switch on multi rests as late as possible. •When working in Edit Mode, set Default Bars Across The Staff to a small value, for example 2. •In Edit Mode, resize the window so that only one grand staff at a time is visible. •Consider upgrading your computer hardware.
