#30 User cannot apply dynamic changes to multiple previously-created notes in one command.

Ticket: User cannot apply dynamic changes to multiple previously-created notes in one command.

Desciption of Expected Functionality: With the inability to hold shift down to select or highlight multiple notes in TuxGuitar, I would imagine this feature in the form of a toggle, called Affect Entire Measure. When toggled on, all the user's dynamics changes are applied to all the notes inside the same measure (for the current track only). A highly-visible indicator that the function is toggled will be most helpful to the user as well to avoid accidentally leaving it on.

When toggled off, the user's dynamics changes should affect only the nearby notes in the current track of the composition (as opposed to a single note).

Why Did I Select Priority 3?: TL;DR version.. To me, it's priority 1. To others, I imagine it is around a 3.

Compositions would rarely involve the adjustment of each note's dynamic, since dynamic indicators like "f" and "mf" will apply to sections of music, rather than individual notes. Other symbols are used to indicate note-specific dynamics (staccato, and accent), and while TuxGuitar does those well, dynamics are far less useful.

Applying dynamics to something should work on more notes in the first place to be particularly useful, and so I rated this a 3.

Personal Notes: Currently, the user (me, in particular!) must either select the dynamic upfront and then create the section of the composition correctly - the first time. To compose the arrangement in a single dynamic throughout, and edit it after is completely unfeasible. I therefore find all my past composition files (the ones from before today when I discovered this) to have been nothing more than learning exercises, as they are mostly in forte. Now, it would be faster to build the entire piece again from scratch, than to triple the number of commands in order to make these desired changes. This is a bad place to be in as a user of this otherwise amazing program.

Sadly, the rest of the program is amazing; but this feature is such a missing link. Consider this my plea to improve this wonderful program

This limitation still applies, right?

I'm trying to play .gp5 files that were created with GuitarPro. For some reasons, some tracks have all their notes in ppp which makes them almost unheardable. Is there absolutely now way to change them to mf or f all at once?

Thanks.
