Selection recall

[q]

Encore sometimes dismisses the current selection after an operation.


Two suggestions:


1) Encore should not dismiss the current selection needlessly
2) The user should always be able to recall the previous with a keystroke.

Encore sometimes dismisses the current selection after an operation.

One example is when a pair of notes are selected sequentially with shift+double-click. Subsequently, when applying command [t] for tie or command [l] for slur, Encore simply dismisses the selection.

Hi, q,

I continue to be troubled by not recognizing what selection functionality shift+double-click is supposed to perform.

For comparison, in Encore/Windows 5.0.2, this gesture acts just like consecutive shift-click gestures (regardless of the inter-click time).

Is the intent of this gesture documented anyplace?

You speak of selecting two consecutive notes with shift+double-click. I assume this requires two uses of the gesture. If so, what is the purpose of doing this rather than using shift-click twice?

Best regards,

Doug

Hi Doug,

I have not seen shift+double-click documented in the Encore User Guide, but that's not to say it is not mentioned therein.

There is no official purpose that I know of. I just happened to notice that Encore responds to this gesture, though oddly.

I have a feeling that this behavior is itself an anomaly. Perhaps "we" should not be so concerned that it doesn't seem to "work right" but rather that it happens at all!
