Score: Changing 'split' point (for different hands) throughout a piece

hi sidereal ... here's the steps you need:

1 - Open Score Editor>Layout>Staff Styles

2 - Go to the box on the left hand side and with the downward arrow and select a Piano Style

3 - Just above that box (where you see New and Edit) select New and then Duplicate Style

4 - It will say Piano*copied - click on the box and rename that of your choice say "Sidereal Piano"
( the reason you do this is because you might want to keep the original template of that piano style for other uses)

5- Now look along until you see the final column Assign and underneath Chan and Split -assign each channel a different midi channel ( say 1 and 2) and assign the split point as you wish ( it doesnt really matter where this is because you can still shift individual notes up or down just by changing their channel).

6 - At this point, whatever midi notes you have already played in will all be randomly part of one clef. You can use the voice separation tool to draw a squiggly line between the notes, and they will drop down to the bass clef - or as others have recommended select those notes you dont want in the treble and change midi channel - or + 1 by key command

7 - You can play in your piano parts, join all the regions and then in Score Editor assign the whole lot to your custom 'Sidereal Piano' style and follow the above procedure

hope that helps...

Well you have to create different staff styles for each passage, cut the Midi Region into pieces and assign a seperate staff styles to each fragment of the region with the correct split points assigned.

Did you copy and rename your staff style before applying the split point changes? It works fine here so there is something you're doing wrong. Click on the select region fragment in the score editor, the region gets highlighted in the Arrange, then choose the copied staff style in the Inspector window.
Concerning the doublehanded single note I would just alternate stem up/down in the score for each note, that would make it clear and look alright too.

Hi

Basically it means that you assign the left and right hands to different MIDI channels in the Staff Style editor instead of using a fixed split point (Assign on the far right of the style editor).

For example, left = channel 1, right=channel 2

You can then select the individual notes and change MIDI channels appropriately:

Using the Voice Separation tool

Using Key Commands (Ch +1 etc), or

In the Event List

Hi

Assuming you have assigned a Staff Style that has voice assignment set to MIDI channels, you simply click and draw a line to separate the voices using the Separation tool.

This converts the MIDI channel to the notes so that they shift to the 'other' hand.

Hi

You need to use the Voice Separation tool , or assign the notes to MIDI channels manually...

see pages 753 & 754 of the manual

Hi

You need to either use the Voice Separation tool, or assign the MIDI Channel of the notes by hand.

See Pages 753 and 754 of the manual.

Hi

It's all about Voices and Staffs...

You need one Staff, with 2 Voices (separated by MIDI channel).

Set the top voice to Stems UP, bottom to stems DOWN
