measure line up 2003-12-07 01:36 am I am entering some music in, and the measure lines do not seem to line up properly between staves. I used the audit bar command and that makes the bar lines line up properly, only now the notes are an 1/8 th note into the next bar because I'm switching back and forth between a treble and bass clef in my right hand in the piano roll notation. Any suggestions? Quote Selected

Re: measure line up Reply #2 – 2003-12-07 01:49 am Usually if the bar lines on one staff don't line up with another, one measure has the wrong number of beats in one bar. The easiest way is to find the earliest place they don't line up, and check the note and rest values in both staffs in the preceding bar. After you've done this, you can run the bar line audit tool again.The bar line audit will split and tie notes into the next bar if the beat count is wrong. I don't think this changes back after you've corrected the erroneous bar, so if you have a lot of such ties, I would make a note of which bar is out of synch (Ctrl-G when in the bar) but "undo" the bar line audit before doing anything else.The audit bar lines function works well, but only if each bar has the right number of beats in it. If your piece starts with a pickup note (anacrusis?), you should pad it out with hidden rests to make it a full measure.If you intend to display the measure numbers, then you should set that feature to start from 0 instead of 1 where you begin with a pickup. To do this, go to File, Page Setup, Options, Measure Start. Quote Selected
