Again, quite helpful for many.

 

But not me, I fear.

Ok, a welcome improvement, but the whole chord tool shoud be revamped. The size of the elements of suffixes is so ridiculously small in the Suffix creation window ! The window is much too small, and contrary to the shape designer, there is no view at 100 %, 200 %, 400 %.

Agreed. What is the sense of having a large grid, with tiny entries? And I know this has been mentioned many times in the past.

And STILL no way to resize chords easily! Unless that monster announcement is hiding under a bushel basket somewhere. We haven't been able to do that for a long, long time.

 

(Please don't answer with "scale chord". That command ruins stacked suffixes and ignores kerning. There is no way to do it, unless you add a hidden staff to each part and resize the entire hidden staff. And a different hidden staff for each amount of resizing you want to do. Urg.)

As MR I'm sure this will be welcomed by many.

But. Not being a programmer myself, I can't think this was a big job for the programmers of MM. When do we see the big improvements of our, still preferred, program?

>> And STILL no way to resize chords easily!

 

Since the article says "we’ve made it easy to create larger, more legible chords," what makes you think you will not be able to change chord/suffix sizes?

 

I prefer to see the program itself before assuming the worst.

The video says : "We've made it easy to create chord suffixes that are a little bit bigger and a lot easier to read."

• let's hope that several sizes can be defined, not a choice between two

• that the size can vary in various regions of the score

• and that the components of the suffix will remain proportionally spaced at any size

This is not clear yet.

Let's cross our fingers...

That looks to me like they have simply created a library of larger suffixes. This is not the same as resizing chords.

In a previous version, we could attach chords to a hidden item like a rest in another layer, and resize that item, causing the chord to scale. We have completely lost the capability to resize chords, and I highly doubt this newer version restores it.

I’ll go along with Anders, Michael, and Christoper. It looks like weasel-wording to hide “not much.”

I'm taking the wait and see approach. We'll know soon enough.
