Glitches and funnies (cresc. and decresc. lines all over)

• Feb 27, 2018 - 06:51

Hi. The score attached looks fine when I uploaded onto MuseScore this morning. However, when it displays, all sorts of funnies suddenly appear (as if they were hidden in the computer's file). How do I get rid thereof to be able to post it without these funnies?

Thanks
Peet

Well, that score has never been uploaded to musescore.com (or you deleted the traces of that, on musescore.com and in the score's properties)
It seems to stem from an XML import.

I don't see any funnies here

"The score attached looks fine when I uploaded onto MuseScore this morning. However, when it displays, all sorts of funnies suddenly appear (as if they were hidden in the computer's file)"

Apparently, you have removed your score ("Still as the night") from the musescore site, right?
From what I saw before the removal, I noticed this eg in measure 31
Is it you meant that ?

No reply (or yet)?

I first thought to this issue: #250381: Wandering hairpin in score with mmrest & invisible staves
But there is not invisible staves in this score.

So, what I observe would be related to the layout of the hairpins in a score vs. on the musescore site.

1) On your score, the layout (measures 31-32) is on two pages and in another system - image below.

  • Note also, the offsets of the hairpin in your score measure 32

2) Observe now, when you upload your score on musescore com, the layout has changed: measures 31 and 32 are "associated" at the beginning of a same system - image below.

And so, you get a collision between the hairpins (hairpins of measure 32 have jump in the previous measure 31)

Not so easy to reproduce from scratch (since it depends of a certain layout in a score)

Nevertheless, you can avoid this by reseting the default position of the hairpins in measure 32 (select hairpin -> shortcut Ctrl + R, or apply reset in Inspector), and measure 45. Maybe elsewhere also, I don't checked all.

To prevent the wandering hairpins do 2 things.

  1. Change them in page layout
  2. When they cross a pagemeasure (this includes pages) use shift+arrows to make them longer so they extend to the next measure, then use either ctrl+arrow or drag with mouse to fine tune them.

"It was the crescendo hairpins at the end of the score, last bar: going from pp (dynamic) to louder (crescendo hairpin)"
You mean:

Reset the default position of these last hairpins is not enough to have a good display on musescore com

But it works by reseting the default position of all hairpins in your score (right-click on a hairpin -> select -> all similar elements -> Ctrl + R)
Result after uploading your score on musecore com:

As you said in a previous comment: "It seems I will have to do some cleaning up and then start afresh with the cresc. and decres. indications."
