One part is off by 2 beats...
This makes me so crazy...my bass bone part is offset by 2 beats. I have no idea how it happened, but now I'm having to go back and rebuild about 6 pages and it's eating up my time to work. I suspect that when using 'select partial measures' that I copied less than a full bar in somewhere and it threw off the entire line. This has happened in the past. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it without having to rebuild that part of the score. help!

Hi Candace - yeah, it definitely sounds like you copied less than a full bar - that happens to me sometimes - if you can't copy the line from another part (is it being doubled somewhere?) I'm wondering if you could change the time signature to 2/4 then change it back to 4/4 - never tried it but it's a thought. I'm also wondering if the "re-transcribe" feature would be of any use.
I keep "old" versions of scores for just these types of circumstances - if I'm going to be doing heavy editing, I'll save to a new version so I've got something to go back to just in case.
Hope this helps!

You may also want to try copying the line as a partial measure (repeating your mistake, essentially) and pasting it at the beginning of a measure
thanks Tom. I think it is a 'copying a partial measure' error. I back up to 3 places since a computer & external HD crash I had a few years ago. Thanks for the advice! -c
