1) When exporting a PDF of parts, line 2 of the lyrics overlaps line 1 by about 40%. When exporting a PDF individually, no overlay occurs.
2) An export of PDF or mp3 is always directed to the folder for "Scores". Version 2.0.3 always opened the last directory opened. Current version requires three mouse click to redirect the output to the desired directory, or allow all exports to be saved to the Scores directory then cut/paste the documents to the desired directories.
Comments
please attach a sample score, showing issue #1
I can confirm the second issue, though. Odd, in that I thought this was working at one point and don't remember any relevant changes. Worth submitting separately, though.
PDF samples attached as an example of point 1), above.
We need a sample score, not a picture of if (and a PDF is just that)
issue #2 now is in #284813: 'Export' directory
score attached
The score is corrupt:
![Tears_in_Heaven_(G)_(1).png]( "Tears_in_Heaven_(G)_(1).png")
Measure 7, Staff 4 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 5/4
And indeed it is:
But I can confirm the lyrics issue
I see that the staves are scaled to 85%. Probably you really meant to do this globally in Format / Page Settings. As it is, I think you may have inadvertently triggered the same bug as #284069: Spacing of lyrics lines too tight after export of parts. But more investigation on our part is needed in order to fully understand what is going on.
In reply to True, although that shouldn… by Marc Sabatella
Did the following:
- returned all staves to 100%
- went to Format / Page setting and reduced Scaling by one click. This reduced the score size (desired affect. Thanks). Did an Export Parts which resulted in lyrics overlap, as before
Confirmed
The key in that other issue is the scaling of the staves in the parts.
Nope, I set those to 100% too, still the same issue
OK. Could be I was wrong about what the trigger actually is in that other score too. But anyhow, I'm leaving both open, we need to look at both of these.
I can reproduce from scratch, small staves are definitely not involved. I'll just close this as duplicate and follow up there.
