That's the beauty of CAL - you can modify or create any script the way you need.

Hello!
Would you find it easy to create a CAL script for this topic (How to select just the top or bottom MIDI notes)?
The idea would be an interface that would ask which note (known as "voice" in Sibelius) to keep selected: top note, bottom note, or first note, 2nd note, and so on.
For the CAL Script to work, it needs all the events to be pre-selected, so the idea is to do the reverse, deselect the unwanted notes and leave only the desired notes selected.
I'm even trying to venture to learn CAL Script, but I did not find anything that could deselect notes.
Could you help?
 

I believe this is possible if used for chords and not polyphonic material, such as fugues.

No, a tick is a tick. The amount of absolute time represented by a tick will vary with PPQ and tempo, but if you specify 10 ticks early, it will be 10 ticks at any PPQ.
 
There isn't much point in operating at other PPQs in any case, as SONAR records and stores everything at 960 internally, and tick values in snap and quantize dialogs are referenced to 960PPQ regardless of the clock setting.

oh maybe my understanding is off then.  For me, I work at 96 PPQN.  It's just something I always have done...  I think because old school MPC timing was 96 PPQN, so for me 3 ticks is equivalent to 30 ticks at 960 PPQN no?
 
sorry if I mispoke about this if I am wrong.

I belueve the span in time is equivalent but the 960 has ten sub ticks within each 1 tick at 96...?

coming back to this point, i think what i said still stands true.  It was programmed to change the paramter 30 ticks behind the note... BUT if at 96 PPQN, 30 ticks is more than a quarter note.  Would need to set the CAL script for 3 ticks, no?

30 ticks at 96 ppqn is just shy of a third of a quarter note in duration.  An eighth would be 48 ticks, and a 16th would be 24, so there's race condition there. 
 
I would think that using a very short pan change interval would be harmless with soft synths. The only issue I can think of is is with external hardware synths - It's possible that some really old equipment might have a fixed limit as to how fast it can pan.

I thought you're 'nice update' reponse was to Alisa's update which lets you enter the desired tick value. You can easily add the 'time' variable my version if you prefer it.

yes but if a project is in 96 PPQN, wouldnt i need to make the tick count '3' instead of '30'?  

What I'm saying is that Alisa's script that was posted right before your 'nice update' response has already been modified to let the user specify an appropriate 'time' value instead of hard-coding a value as I did. For my version as it stands, yes, 3 ticks at 96PPQ is equivalent to 30 at 960, and you would either need to change the hard-coded value, or add the 'time' variable that Alisa used. I thought about it, but was just too lazy. 

Can anyone tell me a good way to save a copy of the file?

I can't seem to get a copy/paste as it won't scroll while in its copy mode.

Thanks. I'd love to play with this...
