Thanks @Christian_R you’re right yours seems to be working. Not sure what I’m doing differently. Here’s that moment from my file. 5-4 15-8 example.dorico (1.0 MB)
I tried, and indeed also in my file, if I add a bar before the mixed time signatures bar (so that the latter bar is positioned not at the beginning of the system), the local time signature, on condensed staves, disappears.
It has probably something to do with System Breaks (as the disappearing of condensed local time signatures happens only mid-system): if I put a system break where the condensed local time signatures disappearing occurs, they magically reappear (even if the cautionaries still are not appearing.
Not sure if this was already discussed (if someone knows, please post a link).
Here the System Break applied to your example (TS reappear, cautionary TS still not appearing):
Strange! Nice investigative work. Hmm wondering what to do for now. I suppose just make a system break for the time being and live without the cautionary for this job. But it’s not ideal.
Hi @pcg1993.
I’m having a look at your file, trying various things to see what effect they have. So far, no joy in getting the 15/8 to show when condensing is on. However I discovered one thing which might be a clue for the Dorico development team if they decide to investigate, namely that the instruments which have the 15/8 local time signature (which is being treated as a pickup bar with hidden tuplets, etc.) will not allow their barline type to be changed at that point. For example, if I select the barline and use the popover or the side panel to change it to a double barline, a final barline, etc., all those which have 5/4 will change but the 15/8 staves will stay with a single barline.
I can confirm @Christian_R’s observation that the local time signatures disappear in condensing if the local TS’s occur mid-system but behave as expected if at the start of a system (with or without a manually-entered system break).
