Tips and Tricks
Symbols have disappeared.
Are they layout symbols? Then maybe they belong to an-
other layout than the one you are editing now.
If that is not the reason, maybe you have inserted the sym-
bol into the wrong staff, see “Important! – Symbols, staves
and voices” on page 558.
A symbol doesn’t move with its staff. Auto Layout
produces far too wide spacing.
Maybe you have inserted the symbol into the wrong staff.
Please observe the warning in the section “Important! –
Symbols, staves and voices” on page 558.
A note symbol appears too far from the note I wanted it
inserted on.
Do you have activated the correct voice? Note symbols
are inserted into voices, just like notes.
If you wish you had a faster
computer
Here are some tips for those who find some operations
slower than they would like:
• Work on a smaller section of the score at a time. Break
the project up into parts and work on those parts individu-
ally until the final layout stage.
• Switch on multi-rests as late as possible.
• When working in Edit Mode, set Default Bars Across
The Staff to a small value, for example 2.
• In Edit Mode, resize the window so that only one grand
staff at a time is visible.
• Consider upgrading your computer hardware.
