Misplaced ledger lines

• Apr 2, 2018 - 17:46

I have an entire stave where the notes are correct - the playback is playing the correct notes - but the placement of the notes has somehow moved up a third. in other words: Using treble clef: I type in a B below middle C. Now the B AND it's ledger line, instead of sitting below the staff is up a third. It looks like a D until you look really closely. You can see the ledger line sitting ON TOP of the bottom line of the staff where the note E belongs. The B is there. It plays a B. It is just sitting in the wrong place on the staff. I have tried and tried ti correct this. Can anyone help?

Another possibility is actually are using the wrong clef - be sure the clef sits on the "G" line and isn't shifted lower (the "French violin clef"). If you accidentally selected the wrong clef, simply drag the correct one onto your score.

If you still have problems, please attach your score and we can assist better.

To be clear: the problem is your use of the "line distance" setting, which is intended for creasting experimental staves, not for simply enlarging a staff. To enlarge a staff, use instead the "Scale" setting, which not only increases the size of the staff itself but also scales everything else accordingly.
