dash over right side of the measure?

• Aug 20, 2020 - 00:50

I was writing something and I must have accidentally pressed some weird key combination. Now I have a measure that is shorter then what it says. It also has a gray slash above the right side (image attached). This must be the problem, but what is it???

please help

The gray dash tells you the measure is short. You probably selected something and pressed ctrl+delete to remove it which also shortened the measures. Choose a note of the appropriate length and press shift+ a note name to add it back and the dash will disappear when the measure is correct. FYI, a + means there are too many beats in the measure.

There are other ways to shorten a measure but this is the most likely way to do it by accident. Looking at your measure makes me doubt this is what happened though.
