Sorry.
Before copying chordname, go to lines menu and add the straight line behind the chordname and extend it to signify how many bars (4 in this case) the same chordname is active. Then copy chordname, etc.
More descriptive title.
Thanks
I'm not able to reproduce this using r. 1833, Windows XP. Xavierjazz, are you using r.1833?
Using 1833
Did you add the straight line from the lines pallet and extend it for a few bars?
This may be why its happening.
I did try the the straight line. Maybe you could attach a file.
Unfortunately I had a crash and all traces of the file vanished. I had saved a number of times before, but it all went?????
Hi David.
I re-did the tune.
No Crashes.
However, as you will see from the .png file there is still something not right.
I entered the first chordname and copied it to the 2nd position. As you can see, they are different
I prefer the 2nd, but cannot understand how to get it in that format.
regards.
I looks like the second is missing a "4" after the "sus". Is that the difference you are referring to?
That is it.
When I tried to write sus 4 in that score it would not appear in the jazz font and I was only able to get the Jazz font if I omitted the "4". As you see however, it copied.
I am now able to add the "4" with no problem in other scores.
??????????
That is a limitation of the "unfinished" Jazz font. But I think we are getting a little off topic for this bug report.
Copy&Paste of accidentals in chord names works in rev. 1891. I also added a special symbol for sus4 to the jazzfont.
Thanks
