Resize bug

• Apr 1, 2009 - 09:55

Hi all,

I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 (beta) and MuseScore 0.9.5 rev 1698

I add a capture with this e-mail, to show that in little staves, horizontal beams don't resize, as well as tuplets.

You can also see in bar 1, that the half note rest is one line too low, and in bar 2, the full bar rest should be just below the 4th line, and not just above the 3rd line.

The little clefs are also positionned a little bit too on the right I think.

I have also 2 suggestions:

1) when creating a new time signature, via the "Créer->Indications de mesure" menu, it would be very nice if the newly created time signature could appear in the time signature palette.

2) is it possible to suggest to the developpers to add some specific and rare instruments like folk instruments, with their transposition and writing specificities? Or at least add a possibility to add some new instruments in the instruments creation menu.

Thank you for this fantastic program!

For the very first staff of course

Hi Magnus
I write music mainly for an instrument played in Provence (south east of France) called galoubet-tambourin; it is actually a couple of instrument: a little wood pipe played in the left hand, accompanied by the tambourin, a drum hung on the left arm that you play with the right hand.

It is usally written on 1 or 2 staves, because sometimes it is not necessary to specify the drum part, the musician knows what kind of rythm he has to play. But for some more contemporary pieces, it is necessary to write the tambourin part.

The galoubet sounds 2 octavas higher than the written notes. It is a transposing instrument: it can be in high D (transposition is +26 semitones I guess), C (24), B natural (23), B flat (22), A (20), G (18), low D (13). Though it sounds 2 octavas higher, we ususally don't use the G clef with +15.

The tambourin is written as a normal drum, whithout specific height. On a single line, without any tonality of course.

So it could be very nice to have the possibility to choose beetween those 2 cases:
1 staff galoubet coupled with 1 staff tambourin,
and
only 1 staff galoubet.

If you want to see it, you can visit a few websites, unfortunately in French.
