The Notes Menu

For editing notes or rests, you will have to select the note or range first and then click the command you wish to run. You can also open the Note Context Menu with a right click after selecting your notes.

Respell an accidental

Select one or several notes to perform one of the following actions:

• Respell as enharmonic equivalent
• Respell sharp as flat
• Respell flat as sharp

Switch to voice

If your score contains several voices within one staff, you can use this command to select the different voices. You can also use the shortcut CTRL+* for a single voice selection, where * stands for the respective voice from 1 to 8. Press CTRL+0 to select all available voices simultaneously.

Change Voice

If your score contains several voices within one staff, ScanScore might misassign notes to a wrong voice. With this command, you can correct that mistake.

Group Beams

Select notes (8ths, 16ths etc.) to group or split their beams.

Ties and Slurs

You can either select the notes first, then click the tie or slur icon, or you select the icon first and then click the notes you want to connect one by one. Please note that a tie will be only inserted if you select two notes with identical pitch.

Separate from Chord

Usually, chords are considered notes in ScanScore. To edit one note separately, select it and use this command to make it a separate note of its own. After that, you can use the command "Change Voice" to move it to another voice.

Tuplet Settings

This dialog gives you a range of options for tuplets. If you edit these settings when one or several tuplet marks are selected, the changes will affect all the selected tuplets. Otherwise, they will become the active configuration for future tuplets.

Change Stem Direction

This feature changes the direction of the stem of the selected note from top to bottom or vice versa.
