Sal Sorice Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Am I missing something, or is it impossible to delete a pedal event in Staff View? Seems like it should be basic functionality. I know you can do it in the Event List but it would be so much easier/intuitive to do so in Staff View (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious about this so I took a very quick look. Would right-clicking and setting the value to 0 [zero] be helpful? This can be done in Staff View. Disclosure: My staff view usage is pretty minimal nowadays--just using it to create or to clean up short music snippets. So I am not sure if there are other options. I suspect the Staff View editing code is a bit entrenched, so I am not sure a Delete button can be added to the right click dialog that would delete the pedal/sustain control code. As always, I defer to others who use Staff View more than I currently do. BUT WAIT: I just did something that put a box around the Pedal Event (in Staff View) and then something else that turned it Blue. When it is Blue the delete key will delete the event. Hmmmmm. UPDATE: I think I have it. After right-clicking the Pedal Event which brings up the properties dialog, I closed the dialog box [pressing either OK or Cancel worked for me], the event stayed Blue and then pressing the delete key deleted it. I am curious to know if that will work for others. Edited August 11 by User905133 successive edits to add details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Thanks @User905133!!! You hit upon what works! This worked for me (not intuitive, but it works!): > Right-click/hold/drag around the pedal event. Note: You can be in any view (Lyrics, Chords, etc. - don't need to be in Pedal view). > Event turns blue > Press delete > Event gone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If you had a bunch of them, you could do it in the Event list view. You can sort by event type and zap them all in the matter of seconds! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Thanks @Max Arwood. This approach, for me, is more useful than Event List for a few errant pedal events. They're easy to see in Staff View - I just couldn't figure out (until now) how to delete them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Yes, selective deletion is way easier in the staff view! I have to slide them around from time to time as well. Sometimes it takes me a few to re-re-re-figure this out again (insert echo 1 beat per quarter note) this out (again) lol.

User 905133 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If you have a pair (down / up), you might /probably want to delete both to avoid mysteries later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it should be basic functionality. I know you can do it in the Event List but it would be so much easier/intuitive to do so in Staff View (IMO). As a test, I created some pedal events. (CC64 > 127 , CC64 > 0) They showed up correctly in the staff view. With the smart tool selected, right drew a marquee around the pedal events and hit delete. The Pedal events were deleted. So yes, you can Delete pedal events in Staff View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have Sonar, but in CbB, if you click F 10, that brings up the eraser tool. To revert, click F 9 for Draw or F 5 for the Smart Tool.

Sal Sorice Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 @57Gregy, I stumbled upon the Eraser Tool as well - and that works too. Thanks for commenting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Simply right-click and drag over it, then hit Delete. Left-click is for moving it. Same behavior for PRV cc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
