Hairpins add with different line widths

• Mar 24, 2019 - 21:01

Version: 3.0.5 - 58dd23d
OS: Linux Ubuntu 18.10 AMD64

If you select a bar (either empty or with things in) and double click a hairpin in the palette to add it, it adds it with a line width of 0.29sp.

If you select an individual note (it could be any note in the bar, even the rest in an empty bar) and do the same operation the hairpin is added with a line width of 0.13sp.

Surely these two operations should result in a hairpin with the same line width? (of the two I pick 0.13sp every time).

I always get .13sp line thickness on windows 10 in version 3.0.5.

Well, aren't you the lucky one? :P

Is it the same commit hash?

Also: odd... if I start a fresh score it doesn't do it. But I open another score at random, and I get 0.13 for note selected, and 0.18 for whole bar selected.

It seems somewhat random.

It is also doing it if you have multiple notes selected in the bar (with the blue box around them). The hairpin comes out with the wrong line width.

Here's a little video showing the problem:

I can't reproduce, in order to investigate we would need you to attach the actual score with the problem and give us precise steps to reproduce the problem.

Unfortunately, I can't do that. It's copyrighted material.

If I can make it do it with something that's not copyright I certainly will.

Just delete all but a few measures. If it's repeatable, it will doubtless turn out to be something about the style, staff, or measure properties, etc.

I have narrowed it down and can repeat it with a blank score. It's really easy. This gives a huge clue to the cause.

Create a new score. I used a simple SATB with default settings
Go to Format -> Page Settings
Set the Stave Space (sp) to 1.000mm (or something similar)
Press OK
Select a bar, and add a hairpin
Select a rest, and add a hairpin
Marvel at the difference in line thickness.

Hmm, I still can't reproduce. Do you perhaps have some custom style settings in Edit / Preferences / Score? Even if it seems like it shouldn't be needed, can you please attach a score where you are seeing this? Ideally, attach if after already having added the hairpins.

EDIT - no wait a minute, I just finally got to reproduce it. Key to the wrong width seems to be, have a range selection and double-click (with a non-default spatium setting). Worth noting - if you try changing the thickness in Inspector then reset, it's normal. Also, same applies to pedals and other lines.

Thanks, can you submit an official bug report on this via the issue tracker (see Support menu above)?

Actually, never mind, after a little investigation I see this is a duplicate of #285923: Lines from palette added by double-click with range selection ignore score style settings, even though the seem different, and the solution is simple, will submit fix soon.
