Default Here's an obscure bug for medieval music afficiandos

Hi, Sherry:

This one is so obscure that I'm not even sure it's a bug.

Attached is a piece from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana that I'm working on for a possible future production.

Based on medieval music styles, this piece emulates neumic writing by having long bars of mostly untimed lines. For instance, at bar 6, 9 and 22, along with others, the time-sig is 24/4.

On playback, in Window View, if and only if the long time-sig bars are the first bar displayed on the screen after a page change, the display flickers and jumps at each beat, as the playback cursor is updated.

If the playback is stopped and restarted, the flicker doesn't occur. It also usually corrects itself part-way through the bar in question.

As I said, so obscure that it's not truly a bug, just an odd bit of behaviour.
