I can’t get a new flow to be independent from the previous. I only have one flow at the moment. If I click on “New flow”, it just duplicates the first one with an extra empty bar at the end. Even if I untick the first flow to isolate the new one, it doesn’t change anything and any alteration I do to the new flow actually modifies the first one. This is crazy. How do I get to have a brand new, independent flow that leaves the first one alone?
New Flow is the wavy line icon to the left of the Flows in Setup mode.
(Or in the Setup menu.)
You’re going to have to show us exactly what’s happening, either with screenshots, or a sample document.
That sounds like your layout is displaying the same flow twice. There’s no other way I can think of for that to happen.
Can you describe exactly what you did here?
And about unticking the first flow, I just clicked the box to make flow 1 invisible, so I indeed could only see flow 2, but it’s still linked to the first one. If I modify flow 2, I can see it has also modified flow 1 when I make the latter visible again.
Flow 2 is the little staff with one note on page 3.
You should be able to enter a time sig, key sig and notes on page 3 without affecting the content of the first two pages.
Yes, it is. Look, I’ve tried again and it seems to work now. Weird. Thank you for your replies.
That the music shown in Setup doesn’t change depending on which flow is selected below was probably what confused you (you’re not the first person that happens to), but it does make sense if you consider that it’s consistent: What’s shown depends on what’s selected in the drop down box above, just the same as in other modes. It does not change depending on your selection of players, layouts or flows.
