In all files imported as XML, a bracket enclosing all staves is added. Highlighting all staves and selecting Staff Groups/Remove from Bracket Group, from the contextual menu does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Hello my friend!
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same starting from a MIDI file.
Thanks!

Hi iamnemo,

I never received a reply. Guess it's just one of those less-than-urgent bugs: It is fixed by setting up a template from scratch and copying the contents of the XML file into it. A bother, but not a show stopper. Let's see what N4 is capable of in this regard—supposedly all bugs and feature requests have been addressed to everyone's satisfaction. Or did I miss the joke from Admin?

Best wishes,
Thorrild

Thanks. It was my conclusion and what I did too Let's hope for version 4....

Hi Guys,

This is Brian from NOTION Music Technical Support. If you would like to send a file to support@notionmusic.com and tell me exactly what it is that you are trying to do, I would be more than happy to take a look at it.

Thanks,



Brian

I find that I can remove the Bracket Group, but if I then select a few staves and try to make them a Bracket Group, it just puts it back on all staves again.

Bill, I also could remove the bracket group UNLESS there are braces (for example on dual-staff (Grand Staff) instruments like piano or harp). In that case I have to convert them back to normal single staff first before removing the gracket group. But still no way to group less than all staves...

@Brian: Just import any MIDI file (or XML) with several tracks and then try to put a Group Bracket around a subset of the tracks (first 3 for example). You will understand immediately...
