Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the offer. I'll send the file, and you can look at the drum part too. Try to figure that one out!

I did try what you suggest here, and I suspect that the Slash Notation staff style applied to the upper staff may be interfering with the lower staff here. Just my instinct.

Anyway, I'll send it off list.  Thanks again.

Chuck

Chuck,

Are you CERTAIN that there are no REAL entries in any of the systems you are trying to optimise? Select them and clear them, just to be sure. Staff Styles will prevent a system from optimising, too, so make sure those are cleared as well.

Try sending me the part in question privately and I might be able to puzzle it out.

Christopher,

I tried that just now.  Still the same result!

Thanks for trying.

The linked parts adventure continues. Now I've gotten to the piano part and cannot get it to optimize. I looked in the group attributes in the score, and the option for optimization was turned off, so I changed it to allow normal optimization. Staff attributes also allow optimization. Still, it doesn't work. I'm sure I can go back to the old extraction methods, that's not the issue. I'm trying to learn to work the new way.

Aha, I know this one.

If you have already optimised, then allowing optimisation after the fact does not change anything, even if you re-optimise.

You have to REMOVE optimisation, then set the group to allow optimisation normally, THEN optimise. You can't do it out of order.

It has been this way for a few versions now. Drove me nuts for a couple of hours one day a couple of years ago.
