Strange graphic artifacts

• Jan 13, 2024 - 12:57

I thought the score I was working on suddenly got corrupted. Strange graphic artifacts started appearing. See the example graphic.

It was happening while creating bars with two voices that have tied notes. At first, I don't think it happened when I initially created the bar, but more likely when I copy and pasted bars I'd already successfully created. But once it had happened, there seemed to be little I could do to correct it except break the ties.

I put it down to a freak corruption in the file. I searched to see if there was anything documented about troubleshooting this type of score issue. I couldn't find anything. So instead, I started working on another score.

Then it happened again, this time in the new score. (I can attach example scores, but somehow, I now doubt this is actually to do with corrupt scores.)

Are MuseScore slowly moving away from cut and paste? Or is there a hidden policy of breaking ties - a sort of burning bridges initiative? Okay, I jest. Maybe it's just another MS4 bug that might (or might not) get fixed in the next release(s)!

Thanks.

Dave

Many thanks for your very prompt response.

Of course - the view. I'd wrongly assumed the continuous (horizontal) view was the way to work because it seemed logical and consistent to me (until I got closer to printing it out). But I hadn't thought that might be the arena for the issue.

Cheers.
