Composer 5 freezes after closing Playback Position Arrows

[Sherry C]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your report and sorry for the delayed response.

I can verify that the problem with turning off the View/Show playback position arrows. That is now task 3358.

You mentioned:

Just wondering if it would complicate my life if I uninstalled Composer 5 as I have to keep remembering to switch to Composer 4 if I want to print anything without including Playback Position Arrows.

I don't see a problem with any playback position arrows printing with the setting View/Show playback position arrows "on" in v5. I've just printed out a few different pieces ranging from single staff to multiple big band, and am not seeing the position arrows (neither staff nor playback position) printing out. This may explain why there have been no other reports of Composer freezing. We definitely want to fix the issue of the freezing, but it seems that to avoid that you just shouldn't turn off the View/Show playback position arrows setting.

Or perhaps there are some special circumstances that I don't yet understand?

ttfn,
Sherry
