Hi,

I'm in the process of working on an arrangement of a harp concerto. Attached is a picture of the issue I'm having

The glissando lines "hang over" from bar 54-55. It's strange that this issue does not happen anywhere else (ex: mm.56-57 where it's fine). I've tried dragging the glissandi back, turning off magnetic layout, but nothing seems to work.

Anyone one know a solution? What I'm looking to accomplish is the same as a mm.56, where the glissando ends within the same bar.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

This is a problem that happens from time to time.

Go into panorama mode and drag the ends back at least a beat's worth. Go back into page view and drag them back to look more normal.

I think they fixed it once and then messed it up again in the next update!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Going into panorama mode, dragging it, and returning to page view doesn't change anything. The gliss lines still appear in the next bar.

The only difference between the other glisses I notice is that this particular gliss ends before a time signature change.

It's a little janky. :lol:

Anyways, I've reformatted the bar layout to avoid the glissando at the end of the stave, which avoids the issue for now.

This is one of a large number of issues with lines. The TS means you will have to bring the line end even further back than normal. There is a plugin called "Line between notes" which might help.

For playback, there are also a number of plugins to ease the process of writing for harp.
