You may want a more crisp sound, with brief gaps of silence between them. Sometimes this is not what you will want. The result of this is that sequential notes will play in a legato style, that is, with almost no gaps between them. Then the next D+ command extends the duration by only a 32nd beat rather than the normal sixteenth beat, so that the duration ends at the start of the next 32nd note.īy default, the as-performed duration of the changed note will be slightly less than the as-notated duration. The duration increases by one sixteenth at a time until the note ends at the 32nd note. In each of the subsequent pictures below, the keys D+ have been used to increase the duration. The quarter note is selected with a mouse click: Try using D+ and D+ and you will quickly get a feel for how it works.
It is not really necessary for you to know all of these details. This is illustrated in the following example. If in the same staff or other staves there is another note or rest which lies closer than one sixteenth away from the current note's as-notated release (end of note), then the note's duration will be changed so that it ends where the nearby note or rest begins. If the note is a member of a triplet or quintuplet, then the duration will be changed so that it aligns with an adjacent tuplet member position. If the note is not a member of a triplet or quintuplet, and if the original duration is not a multiple of a sixteenth note, then the duration will be rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of a sixteenth note. If there are no other notes nearby in the same staff, nor any other staff, then the duration will be increased or decreased by one sixteenth (of a whole note). The amount by which Composer increases or decreases the duration depends on the context of the note. The procedure for changing the duration with D+ and D+ is similar to that for changing the attack location of a note with A+ and A+. Type D+ or D+ key one or more times to increase or decrease the duration of the note. Type the equivalent keyboard commands for the buttons, such as "81d" for dotted eighth note. For an explanation of the Note Duration Palette, see Selecting the Note Duration. Use the buttons in the Note Palette to change the duration of the selected note.
