How do I move a piano note from the bass clef to the treble clef in score editor?

I'm trying to move a B3 note from the bass clef to the treble clef and don't want to shift every B3 note within the score up to treble clef. Is there a way to move one note?

Select the region you're working with.

Open the Staff Style window [Click-hold for the pop-up menu next to Style]

Set the upper staff (treble) to MIDI channel 1

Set the lower staff (bass0 to MIDI channel 2

(You now have a Polyphonic staff style which is essential for this to work.)


You'll probably find that all your notes are now in the treble clef area - that's because they are most likely all MIDI channel 1 by default.

Select the Voice Separation tool from the Tool menu (hit Esc)

Now just draw a separation line between the notes that you want to have in the upper and lower clefs. Doing so will change certain notes to MIDI channel 2 so that they display in the bass, while MIDI channel 1 notes remain in the treble.


You can of course also just change the MIDI channel of selected notes in the event list to achieve the same result.


Having 2 MIDI channels won't affect your sound output, unless of course you're sending to a multichannel instrument.


Hope this makes sense.....
