Piano staves not lining up NWC 2.5.5

2016-09-26 03:32 pm

I'm relatively new to this forum, and I have searched for an answer to this problem but found none. Here is a link to a screenshot of my composition showing the Vocal line lining up nicely with the right-hand piano staff, but the left-hand staff bar line is not lining up. Would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and/or how to fix this?

Thanks!

You have a time signature of 3/4
In the second measure, the vocal line and the Piano right hand add up to more than 3/4.
I suspect that the dotted eighth should just be an eighth and then all should be OK.
(or perhaps the final eighths should be sixteenths instead of eighths)
