  2. Switch to either piano part

Observation: The ottava bracket is positioned incorrectly.

Sometimes, possibly after additional edits, slurs are also affected.

I cannot reproduce. I see the score was last saved using 3.6.2, is that really the version you are using? Is there some other step omitted here?

Interesting. Indeed, insertions in violin and piano part behave differently. On a few occasions (maybe after doing additional edits / undos) I could get the slurs messed up by inserting measures in the violin part. I will update the instructions in the description.

Indeed, I can reproduce using the Klavier part. Although only the ottava seems affected, slurs seems fine. Might be more steps needed to reproduce that problem.

This is one way to reproduce the slurs misplacement:

  1. Open document
  2. Switch to piano part (Klavier)
  3. Insert two measures before measure 3 by pressing Shift+I twice
  4. Switch to violin part
  5. Again, insert two measures before measure 3
  6. Switch to score

The score now shows two misplaced slurs and two misplaced ottava brackets:

The issue seems to apply to all lines. Happened today with piano pedal marks:

The marks used to start on beat 1. I don't know exactly when it happened, but earlier on I inserted some time signature changes. That might explain why the lines were shifted by a single beat, not a whole measure.
