Chords missing from parts... and rehearsal mark too, turns out

• Jan 20, 2024 - 23:26

No, I didn't import a midi or MXML. No, they don't show up as the abbreviations used to write them in. No, they don't reappear on reload. Yes, I tried doing "reset all formatting" (because hairpins weren't showing up). Yes, I reloaded after that. No, they don't seem to be invisible or misplaced
In file 1 - main score, at rehearsal mark A3 there are chords in the bars immediately after Abdim7.
In file 2 - trombone part, there's a big gap in that place. WAIT. I just noticed that the rehearsal mark is absent too, yet again only some of them, and they're absent from the timeline too... so, it's measure 130 and onwards.

Yes, as I wrote in the other comment, I had since the post already went through the main score and cut-pasted every rehearsal mark and most chords that didn't exist on the part, leading them to finally appear. If I notice any more missing chords, I'll report back wit the measure number. If the problem presents itself again when exporting a new part, I'll upload that one before manually fixing it.

I've spent some time in this score, and have several questions.
As far as things missing in parts, I suggest this instead. In the main score, delete and re-enter the F6/9 chord. It then appeared in the part. I imagine the same would work for rehearsal marks. C+P seems like a long route to take.
But the main question about that for me is how you entered those things to begin with. Personally I think it best to do everything in the score. All the time.
I found measure 35 in the drum part...interesting. Is there as reason everything but the kick is hidden? And then there are the hidden, and marked to not play, kick parts. I realize this piece is not finished. You are experimenting. I get it.
There's more, but it will have to wait. Also might not be important.

C+p is faster to restore them. Click in the main score what's missing in the other, ctrl+x, the note it was attached to is automatically selected, ctrl+v, done.
I entered them in the main score. I may have started the project in 3.x, can't remember for sure, but if I did, those chords were entered when I was already in MS4.
The drum part has two purposes: 1. being an empty score with rehearsal marks / repeats / double barlines etc. and a couple cues (be it "play what you want but with these accents" and I use the slash notation, or "play these accents on the kick" and I write them on the kick) and 2. providing me with an audio reference of what the drums will tend to sound like, by including a "default part" that won't be printed (because the drummer knows to do that and more from just being told "comping")

I checked the whole score. The only invisible kicks are those in the beginning of the 3/4 part, and they're all marked to play. Did you possibly mistake the hihat pedal crosshead for a kick, since they're written on the same line? Those are also marked to play, but they're not as obvious as a kick.
