Splitting tie chains

You can split tie chains at specified positions, for example, if you want to change the pitch halfway through a tie chain or delete individual ties within tie chains. This does not remove any other ties in the tie chain.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the tie chain you want to split.
  2. Press Shift-N or Return to start note input.
  3. Move the caret to where you want to split the tie chain.
    • Press Right Arrow/Left Arrow to move the caret to the right/left, according to the current rhythmic grid value.

    • Press Space to advance the caret to the next rhythmic position, according to the note value currently selected.

  4. Press U to split the tie chain.
  5. Optional: If you want to split the same tie chain in multiple places, move the caret to the next rhythmic position where you want to split the tie chain.
  6. Press Esc or Return to stop note input.

Result

The tie chain is split at the caret position.
