Unable to select handles
Posted by James Roberts - 08 Sep 11:55AM
Afternoon,

Is there anyway of selecting handles when they don't appear on the page?

See attached extract at bars 34 & 35.

In the full score, I have reduced the size of the bars so they do not fill a whole page.

Many thanks,

James

- passage-select from bar 33 to bar 36;
- run the downloadable plug-in "Gap Before Bar";
- configure the plug-in to "Reset gaps before or after selected bars to zero" and:
- check both "Reset gaps before" and "Reset gaps after";
- configure your desired option under "Score or parts to process";
- click "Current Score".

Thanks Robin.

Always grateful for your answers!

To save another new thread (and apologies for lots of questions, I've only recently delved into parts), is there any reason why the bar number "5" has moved onto the previous page and again, how do I move it?

Many thanks.

This happens if you (accidentally) click and drag a bar number while moving the mouse around: a particularly likely thing to happen with the Apple Magic Mouse, because of its proximity detection.

To fix:
- Select All;
- Home -> Filter -> Bar Numbers;
- do "Reset Position".
