I worked on a project last week where I ran into the following
problem:
The time signature was 4/4, with a two beat pickup at the top of
the
song. The cellos had a quarter note triplet, with the other
instruments
resting. It looks great onscreen, the score prints out correctly, but
when
you extract parts it strips all triplets from the pickup measure and
leaves
the last notes in the measure converted to full value. So in this case
instead of quarter note triplets F-G-A, I just had two quarters - G-A.
I
just checked, and it does the same thing with 8th note triplets.
I created the pickup measure using the Document Setup Wizard.
Has anyone else run into this?
I haven't run into THIS particular bug, but I have run into so many
other bugs using the Setup Wizard's pickup measure feature that I
stopped using it a long time ago. I create all my pickup measures
manually, using TIme Signature tool>Other Options>Display As... I would
have bar 1 display as 4/4 but actually be a bar of 2/4. This works
perfectly every time.
Report this bug. I have done so several times with other bugs, mostly
involving changing the pickup measure's size and value, as my students
keep running into problems too.
