8va line doesn't extend to last note

• May 13, 2025 - 22:42

I've tried extending the 8va line all the way to the last note, but it stops at the beginning of the bar instead of the end. For a temporary workaround, I added an extra 8va over the last bar to get it to play correctly. However, I don't want to send it to postprocessing like that.

Anyone got a fix?

As always, thanks for all your help! <3

To get the line to cover the final note click on the first note, SHIFT+Click on the last note, click on the 8va line in the palette.

But not being able to extend the line to cover the last note with SHIFT + RIght seems a bug to me. It seems to work ok with other lines - e.g. pedal, staff text.

Thank you, Steve. I read it, but it didn't compute. Sorry. Frustrated and old age brain dead. However, at your suggestion, the entire problem was frustrating enough to get me to report it to GetHub. I made my first post there, and then you came in with an excellent demo for them to watch.

Thank you so much for introducing me to them! I am an detail fixer by nature. Glad to be part of the process!

Thanks again. You are AWESOME! <3
