Page layout lost after saving a notation

[veneman]

Hello

When I add any page layout element like keep measure with previous, or forced number of bars per system, system break, after saving the notation file exit and load it again, all these are lost.

This is a very nasty problem because I have many music pages with are carefully formatted. When loading and printing I have to reformat it again.

Is this a known problem? Is ther a workaround or is a solution to be expected soon.

Hi Jaap,

Sorry to be late getting back to you - we were gone with my husband on a business trip.

I have not heard of such a widespread problem as what you are seeing. I've just briefly run through some testing of each of these here, but am not seeing the problems that you're seeing. If you could send me either here or at the helpdesk (support@notation.com) a file or two that you're working with, along with the type(s) of edit that Composer is losing, I'll take a look at it and see if there are "extenuating circumstances" that cause such a nasty bug to rear its ugly head.

ttfn,
Sherry

Dear Cherry,

This is an example of a file which has problems.
In Layout mode I have includes several systems breaks
and then printed the file inot a PDF format.
After saving the file and again opening it nearly all system breaks are gone. Both are uploaded, so you can compare these.
I did the test at different computers and found the same problem,
Succes with solving the problem.

Cheers Jaap

Hello Cherry,

Is there any progress to investigate this problem. Do you need
any more files or can I tryout something

The problem is becoming pressing because revisions of outstanding work
is time consuming for me due to reformatting the layout each time.
So I'm due to re-install the older version.

Hope to hear positive results soon

Hi Jaap,

Due to some other circumstances here, we won't be able to get this fixed really soon. If installing the older version works for your particular situation, then that's probably the best stop-gap for you right now. Please let me know if you need the installation file for an older version, and I'll get that to you.

Sorry for the inconvenience here.

ttfn,
Sherry
