Can change an individual not to voice 2, but not back to voice 1
Environment: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
GIT commit: a925ae0
I have the following score for piano:
I can change a note in an existing score from the default voice 1 (blue) to voice 2 (green) by selecting the note:
Then click voice 2 in the command bar
The note is marked green:
I am not able to change the note back to voice 1 by doing the same sequence.
If I change to voice 3, I am able to change back to voice 2, but not to voice 1.

FYI, the feature of being able to move notes between voices is extremely limited and is likely to remain so. It is just an impossible problem to solve in the general case - depending on the contents of the other voices, there may or may not be a way of doing the move anyhow without making decisions about how to rewrite the rest of the measure.
For now, it really only works for voice 1 if the note you are moving belongs to a chord of multiple notes (so some note remains behind) and/or if the destination voice is empty. Someday it might be extended to be a little less limiting, but again, solving the general case is not really possible.
Hi Marc,
After reading your desription it is clear to me that solving the general case is probably nearly impossible, especially when considering the amount of work involved.
Thanks for clarifying the issue,
Rob.

I have extended the capabilities of this command, handling a lot of cases we currently don't. So if this gets merged, you'll be able to to move notes back and forth.
Great! I'll install the nightly soon to experiment with it.
Thanks!
It is not yet merged, so you'd have to wait a little longer ;-)
This seems to be fixed in MS 2.0.2.
Yes, actually it was already fixed before 2.0 was released - thanks for updating the issue. There will be cases where it does not work - if the destination voice does not have room for the note, also a few other conditions can prevent it from working (ties, tuplets). But the case at hand now works.
Just tested- Works great- Thanks Marc!
