Como silenciar varios compases

En algunas partituras ciertos compases que se repiten en la obra son cantados solo en una de las repeticiones ¿cómo lograr que VS se silencie en las repeticiones que no se cantan? O, de modo más genérico ¿cómo lograr que VS no cante en ciertos compases?. Como es sabido, cuando no hay letra se reproduce automáticamente el sonido del instrumento asociado, pero no se consigue que haya silencio. Saludos, javier V.

In the window where the lyrics for each voice are edited, you can enter [chor:0] into the measure where the singers are supposed to be quiet (and restore the correct number in the measure where they start singing again). Another option would be to place a dynamic mark in each voice at the spot where the singers are supposed to be quiet, set the velocity to 0 and check the verses in which this dynamic is to take effect. Then you would need a similar dynamic restoring the velocity to the correct level, operating on the same verses. In the text window of each dynamic, you can enter something like "v. 3 tacet" and then "v. 3 $X" where the singers start to sing again "$X" then gets replaced by the the dynamic marking ("mp", "ff", etc.).

| I think the syntax is [choir:0] with an "i" and not "chor". However, there is still a small echo in VS. The same issue has just been reported by Oliveira in this post There seems to be something wrong with VS itself.

Alas, "[choir:n]" is the correct syntax. Thank you for the correction, Bubu! Here is a sample of how to silence a voice for parrt of a song. Take a look at the two dynamic markings at the beginning of the "Descant" voice. "Tacet vv. 1-3" suppresses the la-la-la that otherwise that voice would be singing on those verses (because I omitted giving them lyrics). Note how it is set to bring the volume of the voice to 0 on the first three verses. "Ff" is set to have effect only on verse 4. Normally, I would suppress the printing of the "tacet" dynamic, but I wanted you to be able to find it easily.

Thank you very much PaulL for your comments. I have checked the score you have attached, and I have found the following interesting issues: - Still there is a remaining sound (even it is a low volume certaintly) la la la as a backgrund, with tacet 1-3. It is a problem recently stated by Oliveira in another post, and it requires attention by the designers of Virtual Singer Program. - If you enter the window to edit the singer, you'll see the option "Syllabe sung when no lyric is related to the note". Now it is marked as La-a. Well, please change it to "No syllabe". What happen? Now it is a total silence, but only in the first turn - It is to say, if you change the lyrics so it is a text only in second turn, and blanc in first, third and fourth turns, and you so stated tacet in 1-3-4 (with the voice edited as stated above: "no syllabe") you will get a total silence in first turn (perfect!) but unfortunately, you will have a background low volume sung voice again in 3rd and 4th turns. I believe that Virtual Singer Program requires a review in some aspects, being this one of them. Regards Javier V.
