New Noteflight Features – June 2012

Here’s a quick note on some of the updates we’ve made recently. Most of these are not groundbreaking features, but some very useful additions to the product…

Filter Selection is a new command on the Edit menu that allows you to first select a range of music, and then filter that selection so that only objects of a certain kind remain selected. For example, say you wanted to shift all the chord symbols in your piece upwards. You could select the entire score, filter the selection so that only chord symbols remained selected, and then move all the chords up at once.

It’s now possible to import any number of MusicXML or MIDI files at once. Just select multiple files in the dialog box that comes up when you use the Import… command. If you import into a file that’s in a Folder, all the imported files will be in that same Folder.

Scores created by Crescendo users can now be viewed on mobile devices by anyone, even people without a Noteflight account! This makes it even easier for Crescendo users to share their scores with friends, bandmates, colleagues and others.

Musical excerpts can now be set up so that the first bar begins with any desired number.

Double accidentals are now supported in all chord symbols and figured bass.

    I honestly can’t thank you enough, Noteflight. I’ve had my account for years, I’ve upgraded to crescendo, and I’m always glad to hear new features. :)

    I was wondering… how do the musical excerpts work?

  8. Jeff Says:

    A couple of things I would like to see:

    1) The ability to change the volume balance of the various instruments by measure or group of measures rather than a single mix for the entire composition.

    2) The ability to represent many measures of rest as a single measure with a rest symbol and a number, even if this feature only kicks in when printing the parts.

  9. joe Says:

    @Jeff, we have #2 (multiple-measure rests). Please see the help documentation.

  10. Chris Says:

    So if I have a crescendo account, can anyone view my score, even if it’s private?

  11. Chris Says:

    I think it would be pretty useful and awesome if we could export a score to PDF. That would be amazing.

  12. joe Says:

    No, a private score can never be viewed.
