General Discussion / NWC 2.11 BUG Vanishing Music
In an effort to resolve the clef/space issue, I've been playing around with the order of my layered staves.
  • Version 1 is the original (the same piece I posted recently for Title Text).  The three right-hand, then three left-hand staves are for:
    • top: adding extra bar lines to use up auto-numbers, to allow a "cut" [bars 13 - 20 have been cut].  This is a work-around because we can't set a specific display value for a particular bar line.  I also need to re-start displaying bar 1 at bar 77.  I probably don't need the LH top staff.
    • middle: "cue" staff, with the staff colour a lighter grey - to allow beaming to appear correctly.  This is a work-around for complex cue notes.
    • bottom: the majority of the notation.  This needs to go below the grey staff so that the staff lines print in black.
  • Version 2 has the top three staves in a different order.  This is not the staff order I would use, but one I stumbled across.  See what happens in Print Preview (page 2).

General Discussion / Dots and double-dots in two-voice staves - bug?
I've found a quirky and almost insignificant bug.
Make sure you know how to Undo.  Select (highlight) all of the sample.  Click on the dot or double-dot toggle buttons.  When the up- and down-stem parts are both notes, or if the up- and down-stem items have different durations, everything works as expected.  It only happens when you have a note in one voice and a rest of the same duration in the other.

The rest works fine, but the other voice gets dot-retentive.  Any dots the note gains, it never loses!  The work-around is simply Undo, or delete the greedy note and replace with one of the correct value.
