Added 22 July 2021. Version 01.08.00.

Filters Note, Chords, and / or Rests by duration, similar to what is done in the Advanced Filter. Matching can be equal, less than, greater than, less than or equal to, or greater than or equal to the duration specified in the dialog.

Durations between whole notes to 32nd notes, including dotted variants can be specified.

This plugin is designed to be called by other plugins as well as being used directly. You can hide the dialog, and it can be run using Run Plugin Hide Dialog.

To match a range, you need to run it twice, once matching greater or equal to the low value, then filter the results to be less than or equal to the high value. This can be done in a Command Macro or Command Plugin as a single step.
