Bar Stave Error

• Apr 18, 2018 - 02:00

Hi,

Been suffering from the bug where you try to open a previously working piece of music and you get the error message,"Bar Stave Incorrect" ect ect.

I have discovered at least bug that may be causing this.

Lets say I have a Classical Guitar piece of music that is say 3/4 however using Bar Properties I change the first bar to an Actual of 1.

Everything works fine. Until one day I decide to change the instrument to an Classical Guitar. I control A to select the music then Control C to copy it. I then go to Edit and select Instrument, I Add an Classical Guitar and Remove the Acoustic one. When I return the 3/4 has change to 1/4, but I don't notice this. I Control V to Paste my music into the new instrument, it plays fine. I save. But the next time I open the file it errors.

This only seems to happen when the first bar has had its Actual changed and has one note . Otherwise this procedure I used to change instruments works fine. Even when the Actual bar has two notes.

So I would guess this is what is happening when people get the "Bar Stave Error.

A simple workaround is of you have changed the Actual of the first bar, is to Add a new instrument, don't remove the previous one, save, Paste onto the new instrument, then go back to edit a second time and remove the old instrument.

Cheers
