Helper ledger lines

Post by bla »

Hi

I use the staff to input my answers, and is very difficult to hit the correct place when the note falls on a ledger line, specially those that are more than one ledger line away from the staff.

Sometimes I find myself clicking on a random place, and then draging the note to the correct place.

If you check programs like sibelius, you can see that as you move the mouse over the staff or below it, it draws ledger lines from the staff to your mouse position, so you can see what note you are about to input.

It is possible to see something like this on a future update of EarMaster?

Thanks.

Hi,
It is actually a rather nice feature from both Sibelius and Finale. It's most likely to be added to EarMaster at some point.
Until then, if you hold the left button of the mouse before releasing it, you will see the lines below and above the staff appear. You can then simply release the mouse button when you have reached the right place.
