In Fin12 (and perhaps Fin11), MM capriciously changed the behavior of group barlines so that they can no longer override the measure barline if the group contains only one staff on a given system. It is possible to achieve the desired effect by adding an empty hidden staff to the group in the

(I haven't received a response, yet. Resending this in case anyone missed it.) I'd like to reset all of the expression baselines for the whole document. Every staff on every score system. I don't see a reset command anywhere. Is there one? Have I missed it? Is there a plug-in that will do this?

Yes, I know how to adjust them all and I have made adjustments. I want to reset them all so that all the triangles are at the same level now. I'm hoping for one command that will reset them all at once so that I don't have to go through hundreds of systems and staves. On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 10:01

Ryan, Am I misunderstanding this? Pick one staff, drag all the triangles to the level of the leftmost, then drag the leftmost to the distance you want. As far as I know, it is now done for the entire document. Maybe I'm missing something but my understanding is: Leftmost triangle = document

Yes, that's the way it works, but the 3rd triangle only moves that particular staff on that system. I can move that one on system 1, but system 2 isn't affected, nor are any other staves that have had the triangles moved. I'm looking for a way to line up all the triangles on all the staves all at

Aha! I think you are right. Once you have moved triangle 3, that baseline is set for that staff on that line on that page, and I do not know of a way to reset this globally. I hadn't considered that circumstance. I don't think anything happens when you drag that triangle in scroll view.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It does seem as if it would be a useful additional function to add that feature, but the individual staff offset doesn't show in scroll view, so I'm not sure how that might be implemented. Chuck On Feb 4, 2013, at 12:23 PM, Ryan ry.squa...@gmail.com wrote:
