I’m trying to create a vertical line that is supposed to function as an aleatoric barline/repeat. As you can see from the image posted, the repeat barline - which is a line annotation - is off. And it seems there is no way of (fine) adjusting the line annotation, so it aligns (in this instance) with the dashed line.
I’m afraid I can’t quite work out what you’re trying to do. Could you perhaps attach the project itself, or a cut-down part of it, so we can take a look?
I think what he’s saying is that the repeat bar that’s being used as the line cap is off-center, and he’d like it centered on the line to which it’s attached.
Thanks @Janus . This was exactly what I’ve tried many times, with no luck: Somehow this has no impact on the result. I do not know why.
My solution eventually for this was to use a combination of MusGlyph-text, and dashed line in Affinity designer, after the more traditional bits of the score was finished.
Dorico’s graphical limitations has probably created this future workflow for me, as I often need “other” solutions in the scores.
@Romanos Absolutely, it could be put as simple as that. In the case of my little score, this would be not quite right - but definitely in other situations.
Oh yes; it definitely doesn’t work in every circumstance. I do have a question for you though: since you are not using the double-sided repeat symbol, when you repeat each section is it D.C. or only to the preceding repeat symbol? If it’s the latter I’d suggest changing to the double-sided version to make it more clear.
I wondered if that might be the case as well; I was just curious since I couldn’t see the full extent of what was actually going on. I suppose in this case that is what front matter is for.
