Dorico iPad crashes with upbeat selection

Hi everyone
I’ve just bought an iPad and using the free Dorico app (l have Doric pro on my MacBook). When I create a new file Dorico freezes when I try to add on anacrusis to the time signature. I have deleted and reinstalled Dorico but it still doesn’t work. It won’t actually let me choose the upbeat and then freezes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
David

Sorry to hear of this problem, David. I’ve just tried this myself and it’s working OK for me. At what point are you finding that the application freezes?

What kind of iPad are you using, and what version of iPadOS are you running?

Thanks very much Daniel - it freezes as soon as I check either the ‘pick-up bar’ box or the drop down menu for choosing how long the anacrusis should be. From that point on I can’t use any functions at all. I’m using a 6th generation iPad Pro, purchased yesterday, with iPad OS 16.5.1. I’m a long time Dorico user on my MacBook, so I am very familiar with Dorico.

Many thanks

David.

After the pop-up appears (or even if it doesn’t, after you tap the drop-down menu), try tapping the little symbol at the top of the display, as if you’re about to enter split view, but don’t actually create a split. Does Dorico now respond again?

Hi David, Just curious. That’s an M2 iPad you have, right? There have been some weird problems reported with various apps running in native Apple SOC mode on iPads. Daniel’s iPad, last I saw, was not using Apple SOC, so that could be the difference between it working right for him and not for you. Not that that helps you immediately, but it might help Steinberg work with Apple to resolve the issue(s).

Hi Daniel - no, it doesn’t change anything - also, the … seems to only be there for a few seconds when I open the file and then disappears, as per the two screen shots below.
Thanks

David


Thanks John - yes, it is an M2.
Thanks
David

Hi again Daniel good news - I just did a software update for the iPad (to 16.6.1) and the anacrusis now works.
Many thanks

David
