I think the only ones that have even greater efficiency are Broadway scores, where each measure is marked with a bar number, and multi-rests are split into logical phrases (rather than leaving a 69 measures long rest segment). My experience with jazz scores is that they are written and laid out with maximum efficiency and economy, adding as much helpful detail to the player to provide maximum clarity. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing it in jazz scores and parts (decades ago, when I last faced those). Then when you playback (Spacebar), the notes will swing automatically! PS: If you're making jazz charts and you want to hear the notes swing during playback, you can go to the "Text" section in the Palletes menu, and drag the "Swing" text onto the very first note (or rest) in your score. Hopefully that will get better with time. Hope that helps! Musescore is great for making jazz charts, there's just a bit of a learning curve for some things. Single-click to pick which end of the symbol you want to move, and then press Shift + Left Arrow, or Shift + Right Arrow to move the end of the symbol left or right so it can be over more than one measure. You'll see a dotted purple line connecting one of the ends of it to the barlines where it is connected. Then, double-click the symbol and to put it into "edit mode".
First click and drag the symbol onto one of the measures you want it to go over. With the first/second ending lines, there's a bit of a trick to it if you need it to go over more than one measure. You simply click and drag them onto the measure where you want them to go. Once you see the Palletes menu, you can find the repeat barlines under the "Barlines" section, and the first/second endings under the "Lines" section. I put the double bar line sometimes in lieu of having the repeat symbols, but here is some help finding those symbols:įirst, if it's not already showing, bring up the Palletes menu on the left side of Musescore by going to View -> Palletes.
Yes, that's where I'm usually putting the pickup measures as well.
