With a few key presses you can add intervals to selected notes (in the same time values)
by using the numeric keypad, if you have one on your computer keyboard . This can be a
significant time saver when you need intervals played with the same time values .
Doubling with octaves.
Double Notes at a Given Interval
1 . Ensure you are in Edit mode .
2 . Make sure you have ‘Default Numpad’ selected in Preferences>General>Numeric pad
3 .
Highlight contiguous notes (you can include rests – they will be skipped over) or click-select scattered notes .
4 . To add an interval above the selected note(s), go to your numeric keypad and press:
8 for octaves (up)
7 for sevenths
6 for sixths
5 for fifths
4 for fourths
3 for thirds
2 for seconds
5 . To add an interval below the selected notes, hold down Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac), before typing the required interval
number on the numberpad (e .g . Ctrl+8 to add an octave below)
Break Out Parts As Different Voices
By default, you produce a simple doubling in the same voice . To break out the original
and doubled parts as separate voices for multi-voice mode operations you:
1 . Complete the previous procedure .
2 . Then
click-select all notes in either voice (top or bottom, but do not mix) . A highlight will not work here . For best
results, do only one measure at a time .
3 . Go to the Menu bar and select Tools > Swap Voices .
» The notes separate . Usually, mixed stem directions make the notes hard to read, so there are two more
steps to complete .
4 . Make one change to one voice . Highlight the entire measure (now highlight will work) .
5 . Go to the Menu bar and select Tools > Swap Voices a second time .
