Perlease can we have this for Notion 7?
I mean right-clicking on every note, scrolling down to Notes and then scrolling down to choose either Stem Up or Stem Down..that is bonkers. Paging Chris, product manager of Notion...please, that's got to be a no-brainer shortcut...every other notation programme has a shortcut for this. I'm loosing the will to carry on with Notion to be honest. I'm really hoping someone will come back with RTFM.. |
Your question does not state what version of Notion you are running, but since you are not in the Notion Mobile forum, I assume it is Notion 6 for desktop. I use Windows, and I do this:
Edit menu, Select all Right-click in the score anywhere in the highlighted staves Left-click on Notes, select Default Direction Also, I normally consider the term 'shortcut' to mean a keyboard shortcut, and I'm not aware of one. But your question leads me to guess that you simply want a way to fix all the stems in one operation. In my manual, it's page 10.4 |
Yeah, I feel the pain!
However, being the "try and find a solution" type person that I am, I tried creating a script using AutoHotKey. In fact you can (and should) read about AutoHotKey here https://www.autohotkey.com/ AutoHotKey is a free program one can install on their Windows computer to essentially run scripts, automate key combinations, mouse clicks - etc. as if these were shortcuts or part of a running program. You can do so much more than this but let's just stick to shortcuts. I looked through the Notion manual and checked if the keyboard combination of CTRL+J or CTRL+SHIFT+J were used. I didn't find anything... I hope I didn't miss it. Anyway, I created a short script that uses CTRL+J to flip stems up and CTRL+SHIFT+J to flip them down. You can select 1 note, a group of notes, etc, pres CTRL+J and it works. You need to first download and install AutoHotKey. Then you'll need to create the script that runs the shortcut keys. Notepad or some other generic text editor will do. The file name (extension) must end with .ahk . I'm not able to attach the script so I'll paste the contents here. Copy the code into your file and save it. I give no guarantees of how it will behave or function on your computer if you decide to use it; but I can say so far it has worked great for me. In fact, I might start messing around to add other shortcuts. Double click on the created script to launch it. You should see a little H icon on your taskbar. Start up Notion, add some notes and try it out. As long as Notion is the window in focus, it should work. The script runs in the background until you stop it or restart windows. It would be helpful to read the documentation for AutoHotKey so you know how to mange/handle/edit/create your scripts. But you should be able to get up and running with the brief instructions above.

Wow acequantum, that is a fantastic find, thanks. Unfortunately I'm on Mac but I'm sure there will be a similar programme. I will report back if I find something...
Cheers EDIT: Yay! Better Touch Tool https://folivora.aican do it on Mac. Thanks for the push, you just saved me from RSI... |
I'm glad you have a solution. I didn't mention AutoHotKey because when I tried it a few years ago, it could confuse some software when the software has a competing definition. That, in turn, would confuse me. For example, use Ctrl+D, or Ctrl+U in this forum. They already have assignments. So, choose your new keys wisely.

Yup. Gotta be careful. But that's also why the hot key combinations can be application specific. When you add this to the script:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTkScoreWindow That checks to see if the currently active window is TTkScoreWindow - which is a notion window. There's a tool that comes along with AutoHotKey where you can find the window class to use in a script for just such an emergency. So if you have a different window in focus, the AutoHotKey key combo shouldn't be active in that window. aduki, to Madisonfinley's point even in BTT, U is already programmed in Notion for violin up-bow or guitar upstroke and D is for dot. So you have to be extra careful that you aren't stepping on an already existing shortcut (you can of course add additional key combos that don't match the included shortcuts) |
