Doc edit request for Measure Operations

• Nov 21, 2017 - 03:36

I'm new to musescore and not clear if users can directly edit the doc...I'm assuming not (which is probably a good thing).

Regarding the Measure Operations topic page, I'd suggest that new users who don't understand the "multi-measure rest" mode may be looking for information on how to insert or append multiple measures that are not in "multi-measure rest format". This is exactly what happened to me...I accidentally typed "m" at some point and put the program in the multi-measure rest format, and then when trying to append multiple individual measures, was confused by the program's output. It seemed like the logical place to look for information on what I was seeing when appending measures was the "Measure Operations" topic, not the "Measure Rests" topic. Being a technical writer myself, I understand that you don't want to duplicate information in the manual, but a "see also" reference or a note box explaining this would be helpful on the "Measure Operations" topic page.

Every logged on user can edit the handbook. It lives from input like yours. If such a "see also" would have helped you, it probably may help others too, so just go ahead and add it

Users are permitted to directly edit the handbook. Inserting a sentence that refers the user to the correct spot in the manual is a good idea.
