Condensing ledger line / notehead hidden state

[MicheleGalvagno]

I’m trying to understand why this is happening because it is basically requiring me to do double the work for nothing.

I copied the entire material for a complex orchestral piece, with every bar containing either extra symbols, arrow, hidden (0% opacity) rests, lines, notehead changes, and hidden notehead or ledger lines.

I am sure (bold typeface) that the “hide ledger lines” property has been correctly applied globally. When I turn on condensing, neither “hide notehead” nor “hide ledger lines” pass over to the condensed version of the score.

One could say that I should have done the opposite, but we cannot input/edit notes in condensed notes and every switch from Write to Engrave with condensing enabled and different view (galley/page) is slow.

Is this a known limitation with condensing? Is there any way around it?

Thanks!

This was asked a couple of times recently regarding playing techniques as well. Right now it seems to be by design that properties cannot be propagated from regular to condensed staves. And yes it leads to double the amount of work, having to hide stuff in two or more places. To my knowledge there isn’t anything that can be done at this time to prevent his.

Yes, of course there is a reason behind it! Depending on exactly how the music ends up being condensed, you may need to the playing techniques from the source instruments to be shown or hidden differently from the source, uncondensed music. In general, many properties can be set independently between the condensed and uncondensed music. We know that users would like the ability to propagate properties from uncondensed to condensed music, and vice versa, but that is not currently possible.
