I Never Told You

by G H Richardson

This is another case where I could not at first get the rhythm in the chorus (parts c to g) to sound exactly as I play it until I had a bright idea. I switched to 'Recorder' in the Menu and after setting up 1 Voice, 1 Player, Quantize at 12 (or 16), and reducing the Tempo by half, I tapped out one note of the tune over 7 bars as I knew it should sound. After several attempts I produced something reasonable and duly named and made it as 'part1'. I then transferred to the Staff editor and, like a miracle, there were the notes complete with values, rests and bar lines. Why didn't I think of this solution before? Another problem was that the lower notes 'growled' rather than sounded, so in the Mixing Desk I transposed the whole thing up to 100 - about three and a half tones - with, I think, a considerable improvement.
