With this option you can draw notes on every displayed track without selecting track.
If you want paste, simply click above desired track (light yellow rectangle appear and cursor change to like for edit text), track position will change and then paste copied material.
Thanks for the info, I've go the same settings but it doesn't seem to be working how I expect. Could you make a video or licecap?

I made a quick video to show what's happening on my system. You can see that no matter which staff I click on it doesn't change the one that is editable, except when I copy and paste - also copy and paste isn't available in the context menus so I have to use the shortcut keys.

I apologize for late answer.

I was think, you want enter notes with mouse, not with step input. Then answer is, I think no, it is not possible, or I don't know if it is possible, only as you do it on video. I apologize for mislead.

No worries, I think you're right that it's not possible at the moment unfortunately, hopefully one day

Default XML and PDF Export Issue

The PDF exported from a project I'm working on has come out strange with most of the pages being half just black. Also the XML exported from the same project won't open in Musescore.

Small question, when entering note with the mouse and the shift or alt mouse modifier on Left click, Insert note, all note the I enter stay selected. This does not happen in the piano roll. Does someone know if this is normal?

(I asked this question in the general discussion thread, I hope this is not considered spamming)

Where is the "Custom Notation" folder that holds all the symbols?
I'd like to create new ones (chord diagrams for the guitar)
and remove those I don't need.
Is that possible?

From here it looks like the behavior is the same in both the piano roll and notation view. Notes stay selected when inserting new notes with shift+alt+click, but not when drawing new notes via mouse drag. A slight unintentional mouse drag when inserting via mouse click will deselect other notes.

There is no folder. The symbols are all contained in the Reavura font that is installed in the REAPER/Plugins application directory. Reavura is a version of the open source Bravura font, renamed solely for version control, to avoid colliding with a possibly different version of Bravura that might already be installed on the user's computer.

It might be possible to create a new version of the Reavura font with custom glyphs, but REAPER might not load it properly for checksum reasons (not sure).

I am trying to find a simple way to display velocity under each note in notation view (for exporting the score itself to print) but I can't figure it out.

Is there a way to attach the velocity number to each note in a MIDI notation Reaper editor? Scripting? Native? Thanks guys.

"under" each note, like lyrics?

It should be straightforward to write a script to convert each note's velocity into a lyric.

In notation view's track list, when hovering over the "Editable" button, the tooltip reads: "All items are editable in notation view".

I suggest that it would be more helpful if the tooltip reads: "All *visible* items are editable in notation view".

There is a unintuitive discrepancy between the piano roll and the notation view, when it comes to copy/pasting notes (as also discussed in the thread Make Selecting Easier In Midi Editor):

- In the piano roll, copy/paste will paste notes into the active track, as expected. (The active track is, after all, defined as the one that is the "target for inserting events", according to the track list's tooltip).

- In the notation view, copied notes are not pasted into the active track, but instead into the *last-clicked* track/staff.

Is this behavior intentional?

On a similar line it would be good to have the option to be able to make a track active by clicking the staff in the notation editor.

The action "View: Move edit cursor to mouse cursor" appears not to work correctly in notation view: the edit cursor moves, but to wrong positions that are sometimes several measures away from the mouse cursor.

Correct. I was hoping to get a value displayed below each note like a "lyric".

I like to print out my Reaper scores and at a quick glance look at the loudness and softness of the musical passages. It helps with notating it for the final copy I find. Thanks.

Why not get it to display a dynamic marking based on the velocity or CC data? Wouldn't that be more useful

Of course I already requested that a while ago, that was my first idea.

I would love to be able to auto-assign-attach a dynamic marking depending on the velocity of a note, but no script has been created so far So, I didn't push the issue.

So, thus, I settled on at least just showing me a velocity number and I'd just do the heavy lifting

Do you think a script could be made relatively easy to auto-add dynamic markings?

Something like:
Action:
Add dynamic marking to selected MIDI notes in MIDI editor
(- based on predefined defaults, obviously, we need to decide what velocities get what mp, mf, fff, etc - that is easy though, set and forget)
(yes, every note in selection gets a marking - sure, messy and cluttered but absolutely a lifesaver when you print it out and need to quickly eyeball parts for orchestra performance in Finale or Sibelius lol)

Thanks all.

Yeah, I actually happen to be working on such a script at the mo, its a little different to what you describe but it will do the same thing. It works on both velocity or a CC

Oh, wow. That would be incredible actually. Please keep me in mind when you launch it Do you have a Paypal donation or something setup for your Reaper work? Just wondering.

if insertDynamicsOrLyrics == "Dynamics" then 
    undoText = "Convert note velocities to dynamics"
else
    undoText = "Convert note velocities to lyrics"
end
reaper.Undo_EndBlock2(0, undoText, 4)
This code uses a newfangled "trick" to find all editable takes the MIDI editor, since REAPER's API does not provide this information natively. There might still be a bug in my trick, so this is just a beta version of the script.

In the script's USER AREA, you can select between lyrics or dynamics, and customize the dynamics.

EDIT: update 0.92: Option to skip redundant dynamics indications

This code uses a newfangled "trick" to find all editable takes the MIDI editor, since REAPER's API does not provide this information natively. There might still be a bug in my trick, so this is just a beta version of the script.

In the script's USER AREA, you can select between lyrics or dynamics, and customize the dynamics.

Here's my version - thanks to Julian for help with notation events. My script only works on the selected notes in a selected take, it doesn't work across multiple ones.

There are some variables at the top that you can edit. The numbers in DYNAMICS are for each velocity range, so as I have set it up, anything below 15 is ppp, anything below 30 but above 15 is pp etc. You can adjust these thresholds to suit you but I think they are a pretty good starting point and I've taken accented notes into account which will have a higher velocity than the surrounding notes of the same dynamic.

If you want the range of dynamics to go from pppp to ffff then you need to comment out the first DYNAMICS line and uncomment the second one, same for the MARKINGS.

Code:
--[[ 
* ReaScript Name: MIDI Add Velocity Based Dynamics To Selected Notes
* Version: 01/06/2017
* Author: David Healey.
--]] 

--USER SETTINGS
DYNAMICS = {15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 127} --ppp to fff
--DYNAMICS = {8, 20, 31, 42, 53, 64, 80, 96, 112, 127} --pppp to ffff
MARKINGS = {"ppp", "pp", "p", "mp", "mf", "f", "ff", "fff"} --ppp to fff
--MARKINGS = {"pppp", "ppp", "pp", "p", "mp", "mf", "f", "ff", "fff", "ffff"} --pppp to ffff
---------------------------

function main()

	e = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive() --Get active editor
	take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake(e) --Get active take

	if take ~= nil then

		reaper.Undo_BeginBlock();

		retval, notes, ccs, sysex = reaper.MIDI_CountEvts(take) --Count note and cc events

		for n = 0, notes, 1 do 
			retval, selected, muted, ppq, endppq, chan, pitch, vel = reaper.MIDI_GetNote(take, n) --Get note data

			--Find which dynamic range the velocity value fits to determine which dynamic marking to use
			if selected == true then
				reaper.MIDIEditor_OnCommand(e, 42173) --Remove any existing note text

				for i in pairs(DYNAMICS) do
					if vel <= DYNAMICS[i] then
						reaper.MIDI_InsertTextSysexEvt(take, true, false, ppq, 0xF, "TRAC dynamic " .. MARKINGS[i] .. " ypos 2.000")
						break;
					end
				end
			end
		end

		reaper.MIDI_Sort(take)
		reaper.Undo_EndBlock("MIDI Add Velocity Based Dynamics To Selected Notes",-1);
		reaper.UpdateArrange();
	end
end

main()

Selecting notes in the notation editor does not select the CC data connected to those notes, this is a very big problem when copying and pasting notes between staves.

I've come up with a temporary solution for this which will solve the issue for copying and pasting and maybe some other scenarios. Make a custom action and include the lua script below, followed by the standard edit->copy action. Then assign it ctrl+c as a shortcut (or whatever you want).

Code:
--[[ 
* ReaScript Name: MIDI Select All CC Events Under Selected Notes
* Version: 04/06/2017
* Author: David Healey.
--]] 

take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake(reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive()) --Get active take

if take ~= nil then
	
	reaper.Undo_BeginBlock();

	retval, notes, ccs, sysex = reaper.MIDI_CountEvts(take) --Count note and cc evens

	for n = 0, notes, 1 do --Each note event

		retval, n_selected, n_muted, n_ppq, n_endppq, n_chan, pitch, vel = reaper.MIDI_GetNote(take, n); --Get note data

		if n_selected == true then --If this note is selected

			for c = 0, ccs, 1 do --Each CC event
				retval, c_selected, c_muted, c_ppq, c_chanmsg, c_chan, msg2, msg3 = reaper.MIDI_GetCC(take, c) --Get CC data

				--If the CC ppq is within the note's start and end ppq
				if c_ppq >= n_ppq and c_ppq < n_endppq then
					reaper.MIDI_SetCC(take, c, true, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, true); --Set CC as selected
				end
			end

		end

	end
end

reaper.MIDI_Sort(take)
reaper.Undo_EndBlock("MIDI Select All CC Events Under Selected Notes",-1);
reaper.UpdateArrange();

Indeed. Left-clicking to select notes one-by-one correctly activates "CC selection follows not selection", but right-dragging to select multiple notes does not.

The native action "Edit: Select all CC events under selected notes" might also be handy.

How can I incorporate your action David and native "Edit: Select all CC events under selected notes" action? that seems like the perfect combo

It depends: what exactly would you like to do?

For example, if you press Ctrl-C in notation view, would you prefer to ALWAYS also select ALL the accompanying CCs?

Oh, sorry. I thought David was saying his display-velocity-script under each selected MIDI note was not working correctly due to the CC data not being copyable or something - did I goof? Sorry!

The previous posts were actually not related to the velocity/dynamics scripts.

(BTW, did you grab the updated v0.92 of the script?)

Of which script? I can't find in Reapack.

The "Convert velocities of selected notes to dynamics or lyrics" script above.

The script is not in ReaPack, so you can simply copy/paste the code into a new Lua script.

Sorry if this was requested before.
In the Midi Editor view and main screen one can move in the timeline with Alt+mousewheel. There is no way to do this in the notation view.
Can it be implemented?
