Positioning of text

• Jun 21, 2009 - 00:24

Hi,

first of all, congratulations! After decades of "trials and retire" concerning music notation software (Linux and free) musescore seems to me the most promising approach.

2 days ago I got the actual svn trunk and succeeded in compiling under opensuse 11.1 (hard work but done). Though MS crashes a good many times I'm thrilled about usability, features and the quality of output.

Now I want to place a tempo description above the first measure. I'm able to do, but I want some more space between stave and text. I tried to use a spacer, but that doesn't work. How to?

Kind regards
Frank

Click and drag to move the text.

If you encounter crashes please see if you can reproduce them and then report them to the website.

OpenSuse! Great!
May I ask what problems you encounter during compilation? and how you solve them?
I don't know OpenSuse well but I rely on RPM right ? Maybe you can provide an RPM for other opensuse users?

... by analysing my bash history ...

Most problems were missing packages. I had to add the KDE4:Factory repository and the following packages by running

zypper in libqt4=4.5.1-47.1 libsndfile-devel portaudio-devel doxygen texlive-latex libogg

I had to set exec permissions for a file: chmod +x trunk/mscore/gen-qt-projectfile

I guess that's it. Written down like that it seems to be easy.... ;-)
