Whenever I insert a crescendo or diminuendo symbol (in page mode), the symbol insists on extending unto the next page (even though it is inserted in the beginning of the page) - and to the next - and to the next… Consequently, I have to cover up the symbol extensions on every new page with the cover-up square.
There often was a similar problem with these symbols in Cubase 5, but in 6.01 it is persistent.
Hi Anders,
I’m not getting that problem here (Mac Pro also).
Could you upload a simple .cpr which exhibits the problem, and I’ll see how it opens here.
Maybe you need to rebuild Preferences from scratch?
I trashed preferences - still same behaviour. Well, here is a simple test cpr. On top of p.2 you can see the extension of the dynamic symbol. If you delete the symbol on p.1 and re-insert it, it shows up again on p.2 - or at least it does on my system.
Dynamic symbol test.cpr (57.3 KB)
There was no need to even load your .cpr… I had simply misread your post… and, I can now confirm your findings! (strange that I hadn’t encountered it before 
). It adds that “phantom” symbol to the top of all subsequent pages (if you enter it on page #2, it doesn’t add a phantom symbol on page #1)
One thing I’ve found, however… you can Hide the “phantom” symbols… no need to mask them with a rectangle.
LATER:
In fact, I’ve found another “workaround” (I think I understand what is actually happening… the hairpins are behaving as though they are active VST Dynamic symbols… even if they are just “regular” hairpins… they are expecting a “destination” dynamic. As soon as you insert a VST Dynamic symbol (e.g. “mp”) the hairpin is considered “complete”, and will not reappear on the next page.)
So… until the bug is acknowledged and fixed, just add a VST Dynamic symbol immediately after the original hairpin, then Hide it.
Thanks (again), Vic. I hope this is hereby reported as a bug. I thought I had tried hiding these unwanted extensions, but apparantly not: that’s the way to live with it (until it gets fixed, that is!) Another thing with the crescendo symbols: you need updating the page frequently, as these symbols have a tendency to extend over the whole line - this can be remedied (as said) by updating the page. But the crescendo symbols definitely show strange behaviour over all.
LATER (after reading your LATER): Good to know the “logic” of it - and another good workaround, thanks.
