Okay. Another idea I had is to trash your preferences. Sometimes this helps with weird behavior, especially if it was working for a while before the problems started. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 10:11 AM, Michael Withers < mich...@michaelwithers.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Robert, > > Many thank

"Set Current Lyric" is set to the same verse/chorus/section number as you are expecting? There is some strange behavior around this feature and it is worth checking. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 3:40 AM, Michael Withers < mich...@michaelwithers.co.uk> wrote: > Hi John and

Just wondering if there is there any way to find out what the spacing IS between the staves? I sometimes open an old score that looks good because I've changed the inter-stave spacing manually and it would be great to know how to repeat those measurements (other than just by eye) Thanks in advanc
