Perhaps the Melismatic object is crashing because there is something in your score that it doesn't like. If you open a previous score that uses the object and then press F9, it should reset the app. But you should close the score that caused the original issue before you try this.

General Discussion / User objects issues
Last post by bjhall1950 -
I keep having this issue with different objects and on different scores.

As an example, I am working on a new score. I have not put any user objects at the time of the issue. I tried to put in a Melismatic object and immediately received an Object Suspended notification.

I tried adding other objects, and they worked. In this case, it was the PageText object.

Once I receive the notification, the same object is suspended in previously written scores.

I would appreciate any help.

User Tools / Re: Rhythmic slash notation
Last post by Lawrie Pardy -
OK, so the only times I need this kind of notation is for guitar parts.

typically I see:
  • Normal notes
  • Slash head notes denoting sub crotchet and dotted crotchet rhythm figures*
  • Slashes showing crotchet length rhythm
  • Actual rests

When notating I currently set up a crotchet rest (moved off the page) with a slash centred on it which I can copy when needed; and a slash head note that is muted, headless and with a slash positioned appropriately which I can also copy and adjust (ties and length) as needed.  Normal notes and rests get entered as normal.

Flurmy's 2 tools mean I don't need to faff around looking for my crotchet rhythm slashes or my slash headed notes so I can copy them, just place notes/rests and run the tool on the selection.  This should be just a little quicker, easier and more consistent between charts than my current method.

Notating in this way makes it much, much easier to know what's what.  Mike's wish for a transparent rest would be wonderful but in the meantime I'll stick with moving rests off the page.  A similar wish for actual slash head notes (like the current cross head notes) would also be a great boon.

* I very rarely have need of cues on guitar parts, so notating these with headless notes is not enough of an issue to worry about.  If I really need cues, I can place a cueheads object at the start and finish of the cue section and adjust visibility as needed.

Too much messing around.  Placing a rest is a single key stroke, then when it comes time to convert, just select the required notes/bars and run the tool, provided it pushes the rest off the page - easy peasy.
If you are going to use a tool anyway, then placing a regular note instead of a rest is also a single keystroke. The tool that inserts the slash can also change the notehead to a blank, mute it and set its stem length to zero. Just as easy peasy :)

No need to use a rest pushed into the stratosphere.  Instead, try notes instead of rests.  Each one should be set to muted, stem length zero and nviible notehead. Then put a text slash (  /  ) before it aligned to next note or rest.  The target note itself should have an invisible notehead, should be muted, stem length zero, and invisible notehead. 

Sorry if this has already been touched on, I haven't read the entire thread yet.

Nice.
Can I make an enhancement suggestion?

Quite often I need to enter comping marks - these are really just a slash in place of a crotchet (quarter note) rest.
Currently I place a crotchet rest, then create a text entry centred on it in the correct vertical alignment (centred in the staff), then I move the rest off the page with Global_mod.  The rest must be moved instead of being made invisible or it won't take up the necessary horizontal space.  Perhaps you could modify this tool to automate that process too (it would need to move the rest).

Well, I tried again, now with Fluidsynth and Wine, and it is "working".
But the sound is clunky as if the hardware cannot follow the notes.
Caverns, one of the most beautiful samples, hurts my ears badly!
Nothing seems to exceed Virtual Box with an old version of Windows XP, where the sound is normal (=perfect).

I'd rather deal with Wine than XP, personally. I'm on Mint and use Fluidsynth for the MIDI. Timidity didn't want to work well. I'm happy to compare notes if you want to give it another go.
