Copying midi bass lines

I think if you go inside the PRV, you can select the notes you wish to delete. Therefore, select all the notes above the bass-line and presto! (Mind you, I do this in another app, but it should work just the same)

Okay, I just did it. (A long string of C chords with C in the bass.

Hold down the Shift Key when selecting notes.

I selected all above that string of notes and hit "Delete."

^ My you make that sound so "complicated" bitflipper, I had initially written about cloning the track! This my be a very egregious generalization, but I wonder how many people no matter how seasoned do that?

Seriously, as an alternative to his method. if you really want to take care of this problem: If your track is on the grand staff, modify the Middle C split point. (You have to be careful here, but it will also work)

Start by finding your fundamental bass note and decide on the range. Once this decision is made, go into Layout in the Staff View and change the Split point < or > C5. Bass notes by default are B4 and > treble notes are C5 and <.

This is also helpful when scoring where the 8va/b clefs are used respectively. No sense in performers seeing 8-12 ledger lines when the same result can occur seeing 0-4. (Unless the composer's uber-picky! lol)

I'll stress again, be careful!

 Thanks guys, I wanted to get a nice string background and the bass line seems to be the best way to place the part correctly. I like the technique bit uses to get a stereo part. I appreciate the advice guys!
  The timing in the music is intentionally varied to convey mood and so I didn't quantize. This seemed to be the best way to place low string parts. I will likey remove the bass piano parts after I get the other parts in place.

 Herb, I'll send you a link when I'm done.  10 seperate songs...about 20 minutes of material. Thanks!
