How to remove duplicate notes --> hyphen sentences; note hide below note ?

g_man, do you have Sonar or ProAudio? I notice you have posted the same message on both boards.

This is the ProAudio board. Not Sonar.

Not a problem at all. It just helps to know what you are working with. I know very little myself unfortunately.
Hopefully Larry, or others can step in.

gman, I have been working on this using ProAudio9.  I have figured out how to get rid of the notes hiding below other notes.  As you pointed out these are very short notes - 0 or 1 ticks.  So I got the Interpolate function to select all the short notes and them replaced them with a note of the same duration but with note value "C 0" - the lowest midi note.  Then in the piano roll view you can click on the piano note C 0, which selects all those notes, and you can then delete them.

As usual the Interpolate search and replace functions were a bit mystical so I have provided links to screen shots of the Search and the Replace functions.

In the Search function, click None, then Note and then set the max duration to 2.  Click OK.
In the Replace function, set key max to "C 0" and the max duration to 2.  Click OK.

If you are real lucky this will change all the short notes to be note C0 which you can delete.

Good Luck,
Larry

PS:  I haven't found a reliable way to remove the duplicate notes.  The CAL script seems flaky.

The second way I tried, it works but not precise for me (it's still 1 duplicate note remain)

The first way I've never tried but I think it's the best idea at time.
Thank you so much, Larrymcg!
