cursor and score view moves whenever I enter notes or lyric dashes.

• May 16, 2017 - 22:29

Man, this is really annoying but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Someone please help me out. Whenever I enter notes my screen moves down half a page, this also happens when I enter a - with lyrics. God, how can I keep my screen in one spot no matter the zoom level and not matter what I am entering? Also, I've noticed that when I try to move about my score when it is in playback, it gets all shaky? From a composing perspective, it is great to hear playback and go to different sections of the score for analysis. Thank you.

In general, after entering a note, the cursor moves forward, and if this puts the cursor off screen, then of course the screen view moves so the cursor remains visible - same as a word processor or pretty much any other program. If you believe you are seeing a case where the screen moves even though the cursor is *not* about to move offscreen, then we would need you to attach the score and precise steps to reproduce the problem. A screenshot would help as well, because the behavior will normally depend on screen resolution, window size, and zoom level as well.

As for playback, if you don't want the score following the cursor, turn off the "Pan score during playback" button on the main toolbar (right next to the metronome).
