Frozen Fretboard Diagrams

• Mar 15, 2017 - 19:31

Hi, Although I've used fretboard diagrams in the past with no problem, now when I click on a fretboard diagram above a note all that happens is that the diagram is highlighted in blue. No clicking will allow me to change circles/dots to 'X's etc. or change which fret a dot is on. The diagram is just frozen. I've upgraded to MuseScore 2.0.3; still the same problem. I haven't spotted this problem in "Support and bug reports." Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi Shoichi, Thanks, but I'm not trying to change the properties of the diagram (i.e., the number of frets, which fret I'm on etc.); I'm simply trying to change the position of each dot, change dots to 'X's etc. According to my manual (p. 217) all I have to do is "simply click where you want the mark to appear," but for some reason this function has stopped working like it did in the past.

Hi Shoichi and Marc,

False alarm. I hadn't used fretboard diagrams in a month or two, and when I looked on p. 217 of the manual (the two sections entitled "Fret marks" and "Open and unused string indicators"), the diagrams are not shown in the Fretboard Diagram Properties pane (as they are on p. 216). I mistakenly took these example diagrams on p. 217 to be the diagrams above the notes on the score. That's what I was clicking on (with no success of course). So- everything seems okay. Sorry to have bothered you.
