Measure Numbers for Repeat Staff Endings
Hello again,
I have a tune which in part A has 1. & 2. repeat endings. NC gives each of these a separate measure number. In several of the sheet music books I have, this does not happen - each is just considered to be a different rendition of the same measure, and therefore given the same measure number. I have included the .not file as well as a jpeg of the tune from my book. Looking forward to 2.6! Best wishes, Iain |

Re: Measure Numbers for Repeat Staff Endings
Yikes, Sorry about the size of the image!
Following up on the above, I now cannot change the numbers of bars per line in the Layout section. I keep getting a red message in the bottom RH corner "Command is unexpectedly complex". This happens even if I try to reset the layout back to default (Def). Tried closing the file and restarting the program, even rebooting but still the same message. I hope you can help. Kind regards, Iain |

Here is a previous auto-save version that doesn't seem to have the problem. But note that in this version the measure numbers start at 1 so the problem seems to have occurred after making the starting measure (anacrusis) bar 0 as per my book. I hope this helps. Thanks for the quick replies - great forum this. Iain |

Re: Measure Numbers for Repeat Staff Endings
Well I've used a recovery file with measure numbers starting at 1 again. But no way can I change the score so that line 3 has 4 bars for measures 10-13, and so on. It's bizarre - if I try to set it in the dialog I end up with line 3 joining on to the line above so I end up with a new line 2 with 9 or 10 bars in it! I'm really confused about what's happening here.
I notice also that all the notation below line 3 has none of the system padlock symbols on it. I really would like to have this laid out properly so I hope you can help. P.S. It won't play at all either (waited several minutes). Cheers, Iain |

Hi Iain,

Since you have 5 bars per system in the first two systems (lines), and they are locked, you'll need to use the manual "Insert system break" to set the next line at 4 bars. Composer should behave better for you and let you set the barlines either way (manually, or via the dialog). Do let me know how you were trying to do it, so I can make a good recommendation for having Composer behave better. Quote:
ttfn, Sherry

Re: Measure Numbers for Repeat Staff Endings
Hi Iain,
The padlocks are to indicate (depending on which direction the arrow goes) that a particular measure is locked to a previous measure and should stay with that measure either on the same system (left arrow) or the same page (up arrow). I'm recommending that using the "Specify number of bars" command should allow you to either keep existing locks (such as you had) and operate on the rest of the score, or it should allow you to over ride already made changes and set the whole score to the designated number per system. Task 2169. For playback, there is a slight chance that if you have an older machine and Composer was in the middle of an autosave, that it may not have begun playback immediately. That would be sort of the equivalent of hitting a gnat with a pea shooter from a dozen yards - not probable, but possible If the problem arises again, please let me know. ttfn, Sherry
