Red bar lines are Rosegarden's way of telling you that something is wrong. The measure does not count correctly, and this typically happens because it is too full. The automagic tool that's supposed to fix this kind of thing is Adjust -> Notes... -> Tie Notes at Bar Lines. I constructed a test example, and of course it isn't working at all! I'm not sure if that's a bug or my rusty understanding. So the next easiest way to go at this is to select the whole note and use Ctrl+2 to convert it into a half note. Add another half note, select the pair, and tie them manually. (You can also use Ctrl+Alt+2 to convert the whole note into a single half note with a performance duration of a whole note. The note will sound for two full measures of 2/4 but it will only be written as one half note. It may not be a good idea to have such an extreme difference between notation duration and performance duration, but it's an option.) If in doubt, erasing a bit of stuff and drawing that bit over again will get you around a lot of glitches. Some glitches are your fault, some glitches are our fault. Every time I get frustrated and think Rosegarden is a hopeless piece of crap, I go play with Sibelius or Finale. Commercial software with years on us and presumably millions of dollars invested in development is only marginally better, and Rosegarden was built by rank amateurs. > Here's one more: > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8p6zThp4KIdSmZOdUx3eWR4YVU/view?usp=sharing When notes are circled like that, you can interpret that to mean "there is something awfully weird here. To do anything to resolve this one, I need the file you're working on. (Send it directly to me if you're shy.) Then I can look at what's what and sort it out. I'll walk you through how I did what. -- D.
