Hide Time Signature - New Movement with Pickup Measure
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:20 pm
I have read any number of similar topics here, but none addresses my specific issue. I am combining Sibelius files into a multi-movement piece. The 4th movement has a new key and time signature, but unlike the previous movements, has a pickup bar. Movements 1 through 3 combine fine. I have already added a measure at the end of the 3rd movement, set a time and key signature and imported the 4th movement file.
I can hide the key signature, but not the cautionary time signature that appears after the final measure of the previous movement. When I select the new movement starting with the pickup measure , select 3/4 (the new time sig) and uncheck allow cautionary, it moves the pickup measure notes into a new full measure, incorrectly re-barring the movement. It also adds double bars after beat one of various measures all the way to the end of the movement. Finally, it adds an additional time signature in the first full measure. The "Rewrite Measures to Next Time Signature" checkbox is greyed out.
Selecting from the first full measure to the end only adds an additional time signature, and does not hide the one at the end of the previous movement.
Incidentally, it doen't allow me to put a page break at the end of the 3rd movement, although the 4th movement does start on a newe page.
In short, I have not been able to enter a new time signature, respect that there is a pickup measure, hide the cautionary at the end of the previous movement and maintain correct barlines.
