Select troubles

[telemiles]

No, sorry. It is not the mouse...Well I sum up: After a "quiet" working moment, I click on the + or "arrow" button, I select a note. When I click on the staff to add it, I get the window "select staff" and cannot enter anything. I have to restart Notation to be able to enter some notes. After this, the cycle starts again : a few notes are added without trouble and then... I just add I use Notation for years and I know how to add, select and so on. That is not the problem. It seems something "confuses" at some point notation (I think it is when I switch from a button to another one ( "+" button and "arrow" button or when selecting quarter notes and change to eigth for instance).Regards.Marc

Hi, Marc:

You may need to uninstall and then reinstall Composer.

The behaviour you describe is very unusual and sounds (to me, at least) like a corrupted installation.

You may need to do a re-download: the steps are outlined around here somewhere.

Hi guys,

I was going to suggest what David did, especially given that you've used Composer before with apparently no problem. Especially if Windows does its "archive/compact/rearrange/defragment" thing(s), it can sometimes mess up software.

You can visit www.notation.com/Redownload.php any time to have your download link emailed to you.

If a reinstall doesn't fix the problem, and given the good info that you've given about your situation, a couple other "maybes" come to mind:

1. The "s" key on your keyboard may be "twitchy" (this happened to a key on my kids' computer keyboard one time)

2. If you go back and forth between a couple of different machines but are using the same keyboard, the software that does the switching may be sticking. A friend of mine used to have this problem as well.

Let's hope the reinstall fixes the problem

ttfn,
Sherry

Hi again Sherry. Yes I will try to desintall and reinstall and use only the computer touch pad and keyboard at the beginning (I am currently using an optical keyboard/mouse) We will see. Regards. Marc
