Anyone else experiencing the following aberration when using the
Expression Tool in Mac-07? I create an expression (such as a
rehearsal number, or cresc.) and place it in my score, and it
"jumps" to a location other than where I have pointed. It is
sometimes misplaced as much as one staff, or one measure.
I mentioned a similar problem on MM's forum a couple months ago,
but got no response from other users - perhaps my issue is really a
feature. If a staff is reduced using the resize tool and note
positioning's note alignment point is defined as "horizontal click
position," then the expression shows up to the left of where you
click on that staff. The distance it's displaced depends on how
much the staff is reduced.
Is this what you are seeing, or is it something different?
YES! I can confirm this exactly the way you describe it in FinMac
2007c. I thought it might be a screen artifact of some sort, kind of
like those leaping articulations, corrected by a command-D redraw
screen, but no, they stay put.
However, hitting "clear" puts the expression in the correct place.
This makes me think that the bug is adding some additional offset to
the positioning, if I can clear it to default positioning immediately
(or not immediately! All the expressions I entered that were
displaced moved to the entered position when I selected them and hit
Clear (I think this would be backspace on a PC.)
