It seems the print command is governed by the properties of the top staff. If the top staff is only a few bars long, you're only going to see that number of bars for the second staff. The rest will be truncated. The problem goes away if I pad the first staff with several rest bars:!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)|TempoVariance|Style:Fermata|Pause:0|Pos:6|Justify:Center|Placement:AtNextNote|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|TempoVariance|Style:Fermata|Pause:0|Pos:6|Justify:Center|Placement:AtNextNote|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Bar|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:VertOffset=4|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:2|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Up,VertOffset=4|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Bar|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Up,VertOffset=4|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:#1|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:4th,Grace|Pos:2|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Visibility:Never|Bar|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:Whole|Visibility:Never|Bar|Visibility:Never!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End The problem also goes away if I move the cue staff down, making the longer part the top staff.Not a fatal error but an interesting buglet.Something else I noticed here - it would be awfully nice to be able to beam grace (cue) notes across rests.

Re: Buglet report - Layering Reply #1 – 18 years ago You get the same result if you export to NWC 1.75More of a feature than a bug. I use this to check on how much horizontal space a system requires, although I'd really rather have a "Justify printed systems horizontally" checkbox.Quote from: David Palmquist – 18 years ago- it would be awfully nice to be able to beam grace (cue) notes across rests.Better to have real cue notes than to add another hack to the existing cue note hacks.I think the attachment is what you want to do. The method works well for cue notes where there is just one visible staff. Quote Selected Last Edit: 2007-09-10 10:05 AM by Rick G.
Re: Buglet report - Layering Reply #2 – 18 years ago I'm with Rick, here, although I wouldn't necessarily call it a "feature." More of an inconvenience made unavoidable by the basic program design. If you look at the "force system break" check box in the bar line properties dialogue, you'll see that it only works on the top staff. That's another clue to the fact that NWC uses the top staff as the primary guide to determining print layout. I'm glad you've found a use for it, Rick, because I don't see it going away.
