More Options for Proportionality Tool:
| Proportionality for a measure's last note | Specifies how much the space between last note and end of measure should be proportional also. |
| Space repeated note durations evenly: | Should usually be checked, but may result in slightly wider spacing. |
| Reduce prop. factor ... (2x) | see below |
| Default Minimum Position stepping | This value is used as the default when the previous option is ON. |
The two "Reduce prop. factor" options:
Reduce prop. factor when log2 of duration differences is >=: 2
When two adjacent notes are of quite different durations, the proportionality may result in a lot of whitespace added. For example: a half note and a 16th note.
This option means that as soon as the durations of adjacent notes are at least 2 steps apart on a loga-rhythmic scale, the proportionality percentage is reduced. For example: a 16th and a half note are three steps apart: 16 - 8 - 4 - 2.
Reduce prop. factor by x percent per log2 step, x=: 10
This specifies
by how much the proportionality percentage will be reduced when
rhythmic values differ as specified above.
The default options result in the following (example):
