Note appearing a step too high?

• May 20, 2020 - 03:56

I'm working on a viola transcription of Schumann's Phantasiestücke, Op. 73, and for some reason there is a single note that is appearing a step higher than it should. This is in measure 17--the octave leap up from C in treble clef. It's playing back correctly at pitch, but just appears as a D for some reason. If I move it down a step, the second ledger line disappears entirely, causing it to look like a slightly levitating B (which is also the pitch that sounds).

This is a very minor issue, but would be nice to clear up since the whole purpose was to make myself a cleaner performance part.

When the same figure comes back in measure 53 there's no problem--the ledger line doesn't disappear and C sounds in the correct place.

It's hard to say for sure from just a picture - the score itself would be more helpful. But my guess is if you click the note and look in the Inspector, you'll see an offset was applied. Probably you accidentally dragged the note out of position.
