NOTION Music Forum

Has anyone had display problems when viewing a file in Continuous mode?

My current file looks perfect in Pages Across and Pages Down, but in Continuous view, I get a later section of the file as an overlay on the music I'm supposed to see. Consequently, nothing on the screen makes any sense, just lots of notes, staves and barlines in one big jumble.

Closing and re-opening the file doesn't help.

I've just submitted this as a bug—just wondering if there's a workaround...

Best wishes,

Hi thorrild, this has never happened here (running on osx 10.5.8ppc g5 2ghz dual, maybe it has something to do with your graphic card, I don't know.

I have occasionally had display issues like this.
One thing I do for display-related issues is to fill with rests in a section of the score. This will sometimes reveal a quirk in a measure that wants to include an extra beat or have a slur or hairpin that bridges a measure in an odd way; if I get little diamonds at the end of a measure, I know there is an issue. Deleting the diamonds and/or 1-2 measures prior and recreating them has worked for me so far.

Also, I have been confused by beats and rests not lining up caused by a part that I have hidden with notes in the measure constraining that measure's display.

FInally, adding parts sometimes requires a page-size change in Page Setup to restore the view.
