They will not behave correctly, if the individual staves making up the group have names entered in the staff attributes dialog. It only works correctly if you leave only the staff ID numbers. Perhaps scores created with the Wizard do this automatically, and that is why you might not have seen

Hi Randolph, Does the odd expression placement behavior in 2009/2010 happen with files that have a lot of measure attached dynamic expressions? Or does it happen with both measure and note attached expressions? There's a few things we can do to make that transition easier. Justin Phillips Not

It seems that converted (older) files are involved when you have to re-create groups after generating parts. I am glad to know Chuck's trick but groups created in new files seem to behave properly in linked parts. On Apr 2, 2010, at 12:23 PM, Chuck Israels wrote: Yes, Chris. This has not

Good day: I recently "upgraded" from MS Office 2000 to 2007. I use Word to create my edition's critical reports, which routinely include screenshots of the manuscripts. I insert these as tiffs. with a caption under the tiff that's generated within a text box, which I manually tweek its position by

Yes, Chris. This has not yet bitten me, but I can imagine that it would be a pain. For what I do most of the time, this system is fine. I wonder how it could be done differently so control would be more transparent. Perhaps a check box to link staves into a group part? Chuck On Apr 2, 201

So, if you have Sop. Alto as one staff name, and Ten. Bass as the other, you STILL have to manually create the darned group in the linked chorus part? Or trumpet 1 and 2 in separate staves on the same part, as is common in shows? And split string desks, etc.? Christopher On Fri Apr 2,
