hairpins and dynamics move themselves and become unattached
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:52 am
Anybody else have this problem??
I occasionaly get a weird error that seems to occur when hairpins and/or dynamic markings move around a little (I don't move them, they just move themselves) and the start or end of the hairpin gets kind of "lost". Sometimes (not always), later it crashes the program (usually when I drag a box around that part to audition a small section).
Here's the story: If I have a section of music all done and it has some hairpins and/or dynamic markings, and then I decide to add or delete a note anywhere in the measure (making sure I then correct the count for the whole measure by adding rests or changing other notes), one end of the hairpin moves to some weird offset from where it was and becomes unattached. Sometimes it moves across the measure boundary, sometimes it just moves to an inbetween spot not on any note. I had it attached to a note, I change some OTHER note, and the dynamic moves off the note it was on even though that note was not changed.
Subsequently as I am doing other stuff nearby, when I drag a selection box around the part that the hairpin moved itself (sometimes but not always) BOOM the program crashes. I look at the error log and see something about a hairpin without any beginning point to go along with its endpoint.
I usually try to avoid this by always deleting and recreating hairpins when I notice they have moved themselves, but sometimes I dont notice when it is a very small offset to the erroneous moving hairpin start point. I get this in both Notion3 and Notion4.
Anybody else have same difficulty? Any clues or workarounds?
