Trouble with dragging to score

• Apr 19, 2013 - 22:41

I am having trouble getting notation such as accents and pause markings to stay on the score after I drag them across to the score. They go across and as soon as I release the left click button on the mouse, whatever I have dragged across disappears. Some things work and some don't.

First, the much easier way to add markings is to first click the note you want to attach a marking to (ctrl-click or any other standard way of selecting multiple notes, like click thenshift-arrow, to atach to multiple notes at once). Then double click the marking in the palette.

Items that don't attach directly to notes do have to be added via drag & drop, though. And drag & drop *does* work even for accent marks, even though it is much less efficient than click/double-click. The key to drag & drop is to make sure the measure or note to which you are dragging atually highlights when you drag your mouse over it, and release only once the target is highlighted.
