Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your answer. As to your questions, I never touched the
box in Measures Attributes and I did not create a mirror.
I know I need to cancel the pizz. marking with an arco marking,
but this cannot explain this phenomenon because otherwise the
first and the third notes in the second measure (bar?) would also
be pizz.
I'm stuck then. Try tech support.
I also came across something else. I was writing a short bridge for
harp solo, it's in 4/4. I decided to include one measure in 3/4.
After I did this, the measures did not longer fill in with rests as
they always do (I did not change the command for this). I had
measures in 4/4 with only 3 beats and measures in 3/4 with only two
beats. The end of the solo is a glissando which I wrote out
completely in 32 notes. These notes and their signs got jammed
together and are now completely unreadable - the measure did not
become 'longer' when putting a lot of notes in it; it became
'shorter' when I put the 3/4 measure in. What am I doing wrong?
Hard to tell just from your description, but...
If this is something that has just stopped working, then it might be
Finale bugging out. Quit and restart Finale and see if it still
happens the same way. Try with a new document, as there seems to more
likelihood of file corruption in 2007. Make sure "Auto fill with
rests" and "space measure upon exiting Speedy frame" are checked, as
sometimes certain items get unchecked by themselves (gamma radiation,
or gremlins, or small children...)
Have you tried respacing the measure? Select it in Mass Edit, hit 4.
Do you have the layout locked (in Page View you will see little
padlocks beside the systems in the right margin)? Unlock layout and
then update layout, so as to allow the packed measures to flow to the
next system if necessary. The measure will be very crowded indeed if
you haven't left space on the line to allow for the new notes.
Christopher
