Disappearing playback/note entry cursor when vertical scrolling is activated

• Aug 21, 2017 - 07:59

When I learned about possibility of being able to care only of vertical scrolling when entering music, I was happy. Unfortunately, there's a bug in current stable version of MuseScore, which under certain circumstances leads to disappearing playback/note entry cursor. If you have such a zoom that the whole page isn't visible, and vertical scrolling is activated in Preferences/Canvas, the bug manifests itself. I have demonstrated this in a video on YouTube https://youtu.be/MGDN02J5hSU, where I use liberated Für Elise file to show this. The file used (the same available at OpenScore site) is attached here.

Yes, it's due (in this case of vertical scrolling) to the frame (s) before the score itself - ie on a previous page.

I don't recall if this has been reported (maybe?), but from scratch.

1) Load this file, so with a vertical frame extended to get a first blank page: Blank page.mscz
2) Set the zoom to 200%
3) Select tLaunch playback

Result: the layout doesn't react correctly when the cursor leaves the displayed part of score (ie the 9 first measures)
It re-appears measure 25
(if zoom to 150%: from measure 13 etc.)

  • Without blank page/frame and with same zoom values ( Without.mscz ) or in horizontal scrolling, the layout behavior is as expected
