More lines of single bars on one page (shared pdf)
Derek Lee
Thanks for creating this request Jörg Eckhardt! I agree there's a lot of space with the one-measures wide PDF export. I checked the amount of space available because what's not easy for you to see is that I need to account for the possibility of the highest and lowest possible notes, plus the possibility of triplets (the bar and "3" located above the notes; soon to come 5's and 7's), plus articulations that appear above the note (like accents, etc).
(Sticking doesn't really get in the way here, but needs to be accounted for as well.)
So, this is actually quite a bit more complex than it looks with your sample.
With all of these elements, with a one-measure wide sheet, it looks like the following image, which doesn't allow for any more space to be removed in between the lines of measures:

Jörg Eckhardt As one way to accommodate your request, I could introduce the ability to adjust the wide of the space between the lines yourself.
In your example, since you don't need the extra space, so you could adjust this to your liking and confirm that it all fits. assuming you can see a preview of the exported PDF with the settings you've chosen.
The first screenshot shows the "wide" setting where it is similar to the current implementation and there are fewer measures on a single page.
The second screenshot shows the "narrow" setting where it fits more rows on a single page.
You would adjust the vertical slider on the right side and the preview image would adjust in real time.
What do you think of this solution? 🤔
(FYI, these are only design mockups to get your feedback. I haven't started to build this yet.)

Jörg Eckhardt Additionally, you added two other items to this request. So I can accurately track these, I've created two other requests to handle these because they are also quite complicated:
Render a single whole note instead of a quarter note plus quarter note rests: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/render-a-whole-note-when-appropriate
Render a single whole note instead of a quarter note plus quarter note rests: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/render-a-half-note-when-appropriate
I've added you as a voter to these requests. 👍🏻

Derek Lee: Thanks for your fast answers. That would be excellent ;-) It‘s flexible and therefore a perfect solution.

Jörg Eckhardt Great, thank you! This will simply be another iteration for this feature. We can always improve it further afterward.
I don't have an estimated time for when I can do this yet. I will let you know once I prioritize this work. 👍🏻
