Triple tied note? - 01/23/18 04:00 AM
I have some music that has a note tied across 4 bars. BiaB doesn't seem to want to do that.

Hi Lesley,
BIAB will do it. The easiest way to put it in is to use Piano Roll mode and to drag the right edge of the note across 4 bars. (See the image below.)
Also, here's a PG Music video clip on using the piano roll mode. While it's using an older version of BIAB, the process is identical today.

To be honest, though, it's very unlikely that the note needs to be written as a hold for four bars. Depending on the tempo of the song, that would drain the wind out of most people's lungs. Usually a bar to 2 bars is a reasonable length to hold. (It's possible that the 4 bars is simply a musical convenience rather than a performance indicator.)
Regards,
Noel

It does seem odd.

My apologies... I've added the image to my above post now.

Thank you Noel, the piano roll method worked.
But I wonder if the music is correct. I'm getting light-headed trying to hold the note for that long on my chromatic harmonica.

I’m a horn player. That looks perfectly normal to me. Show tune: Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof. It moves along.
In BIAB, another way is to go into Editable Notation Mode and right-click on the note head. There you can specify the number of beats. In this case, something like 10 beats and 90 ticks would do it.

A note played on a piano or guitar would not last that long, would it?

If you're referring to the decay time, then that can vary between instruments and how loud the note was played originally.
I could definitely imagine still hearing the note after 3 or 4 bars, even though the volume would have diminished. Certainly a piano or an electric guitar could resonate for this time.
At a tempo of 120bpm (Allegro moderato) these bars would play in about 6 seconds.

Yes, sure it could. But even so, this is written for a singer. Even if you write it for another instrument, you would not change the way this famous melody was written.

According to this site:
http://www.notediscover.com/song/fiddler-on-the-roof-sunrise-sunset
the song was originally played at 96 BPM.
I made my BiaB play-along video at 100 BPM.

I often have trouble deciding on tempo. I wonder if that notediscover.com site is accurate.

Decide on the tempo that you like and that makes you comfortable. Don’t be locked in by the original performance; make it your own.
Re: Triple tied note? - 01/25/18 08:35 PM
Yes. Good advice. Play the song the way that you prefer.
