Dotted/Dashed Lines (Slurs) Never Magnetic
Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:33 pm
I have read through the slur/dotted slur section in the Reference manual, and googled around to see if someone else has a problem. I hope this is a setting I changed inadvertently somewhere, and won't require a reinstall. Maybe someone here can help me. I want to draw dotted slurs in a vocal score.
I can select the beginning note in my score (let's use Voice 1) and it will highlight blue. I click "S" and the magnetic slur is drawn perfectly.
However, if I select a note for a dotted line and click "L," it highlights blue, and as I would expect, and the Lines menu pops up. I choose the correct above/below dotted line, and when I click "OK," instead of drawing the magnetic dotted line, I have to click on the notehead again, and it draws a red non-magnetic slur. Then I have to do CTRL + Shift + P to Reset the Position and get my magnetic dotted line back in the right spot.
Does anyone know what setting I may have changed that is causing the system to think I have NOT selected the note before going into the Lines menu?
Thanks!
