Page layout lost after saving a notation

[Mark W]

Hello Jaap,

Here is some very encouraging news about the problem with layout changes not being kept upon file reopen.

I've added a new option to the dialog box that comes up with you choose the Default Layout option in the Layout menu, or click the Def button in the layout toolbar. The option lets you set the default layout for all parts.

If you have a .not file that has this problem with layout, then a work-around is to use the above option. It doesn't work to just set the Default Layout for the particular part. There is some problem with a conflict with other parts.

This work-around doesn't tell me how the original file got corrupted, though. If the problem shows up again after using the Default Layout option applied to all parts, then I'll need to fix the bug. At that point, however, it will be easier to find the bug after we start from the point of a .not file with all of the layout data cleared out for all parts.

Jaap, I'll make available to you a special release of Notation Composer with the above work-around. It will accomplish the equivalent to the "clean" (no layout data) version of your .not file that I sent to you via the helpdesk, except that you'll then be able to "clean" the layout data any problem .not file. I'll make that special temporary release of Notation Composer available to you via the helpdesk.

If you find this fully works around the problem, then I'll release the work-around as part of the v2.6.3, which I'll want to release soon particular because this is a bad bug that needs to be addressed.

Cheers
