Converting voices to tracks – Extract Voices

This function does the opposite of “Merge All Staves” – it extracts polyphonic voices from an existing track and creates new tracks, one for each voice.

Procedure

  1. Open a track containing 2 to 8 polyphonic voices in the Score Editor.
  2. Open the Scores menu and select “Extract Voices” from the Functions submenu.

    A number of new tracks is created and added to the display of the Score Editor. Each track contains the music from one polyphonic voice. If there were non-linked symbols in the original track, each new track gets a copy of these symbols.

    Important

    When you later play back the music, you need to mute the original track (the one with polyphonic voices), or you get double notes.
