double bar lines (or lack thereof) & doubling of time signatures
Hi all
I have just added a baritone sax to my partly finished score. I had already put double bar lines between time sig. changes. Oddly, as the baritone part was added, Musescore has not added the double bar lines for the baritone.
Separately, it is putting in double time signatures again, (eg 4/4 4/4) which is very annoying as my band keep asking me why "I" do it. Is this a known bug that might get fixed?

Hi Jojo
thank you for replying so swiftly. I like the courtesy time signatures. I thought that the programme was doubling them, but now I see they are across "another page" hence the doubled courtesy. Thanks again.

oh no its not. Damn. Can you see how MSCore is doubling (needlessly) the time signature? That is not across a page break etc.. :-(

Look at it in page view rather than continuous view and the double time signatures should be showing up at the page breaks shown in page view.

Hi Mike
That was in Page View and they are no where near a page break. (If I am understanding your comment correctly)
Indeed, there have known cases where where has happened, and while we've fixed a few bugs relating to this, it seems it still does happen on rare occasions. We'd love to fix any remaining bugs that lead to this, but in order to do so, what we really need are steps to reproduce the problem.

Hi Marc, thanks for replying.
As far as I am aware, I didn't do anything differently. If memory serves;
1) I added in a new bar, changed its properties to 2/4 and then dragged a 2/4 time sig.
2) In the next 4/4 bar I added in the 4/4 time sig..
I am enjoying your coffee cafe videos btw. There's always some light bulb moment where I think, "damn, why didn't I think of that!"

Thanks for the comments!
Just to be clear, though - you aren't doing those steps always produce the problem for you, correct? Because they don't for me. So it's probably something abput the previous steps - whether you have previously generated parts, toggled continuous view or multimeasure rests, toggle generation of courtesy time signatures, added and deleted section breaks, or something else relevant.

oh I see. So (lots of) completely unrelated actions could have triggered it....
Minefield!

Those are not unrelated - each of them in some way relates to.the appearance or non-appearance of a courtesy time signature (which is what this actually is, internally).

Still vaguely on the topic... I have deleted one of the 2/4 bars. Fine. Obviously in the next barI had put a 4/4 time sig - which is still there after the 2/4 deletion. How do I delete the sign? I could hide each one but that's just a workaround. Is there a correct way to do it? - There usually is (!)

Don't answer that. I have just found a way of doing it. Thanks!
