Eric,

Not only the slashes, but also the one measure repeat, (and maybe the rhythmic notation too). And I so like the softened lines of these characters that I'd be loathe to lose them. Anyway, seems that we wont have to.

But if it is JUST the slash symbol that is causing the problem, can't you substitute it for the Maestro one and still keep your chord symbols????

Amazing that this would be a problem.........

That doesn't make a lot of sense. Is it the slash symbol that is causing all this problem?

Apparently - this was the culprit, and MM says that they can cure it by going through the Generate Parts dialog. Since I was using their template that already had the parts generated, I had no reason to go through that process. I used the template in order to use as much of MM's prepared material as possible, thinking that that would be likely to help me avoid problems that I'd create by lack of familiarity with the new way of doing things. I will try this later with an older score - created in 2k7 beta, and see if the Generate Parts operation circumvents the problem.


I'd hate to abandon the ChordSym font. I really love it.

I like it so much that I'll stick with 2006, if we can't figure out how to make it work in 2007. But we may be a little hasty - let me try this later and I'll report back about the results.


But wouldn't this problem be an all kinds of other alternate fonts as well? What if one was using November, or Swing, or one of the other fonts out there? MakeMusic needs to address this bug ASAP.

As far as I can see, this is largely a Staff Styles issue - directly related to 2007 not recognizing the ChordSym font. Maybe this is only true when the parts have already been generated before the Staff Style is applied to the score. If this is the case - it's pretty simple to work around it. I'll let you know as I learn more.
