Whenever I close my current project, the attached “Select a Layout” screen flashes on the display for a fraction of a second before relaunching the Steinberg hub. Nothing I’ve tried has gotten rid of this behavior and I’ve tried a lot since this first started appearing a week or two ago. Older saved versions of this project (I back up after every day’s work) close correctly.
Anybody got any idea where to go with this?
Running Dorico Pro 6 under Windows 11 w/Noteperformer.
It looks like it is cycling very quickly through the layouts which have been selected recently in the “Select a Layout” window before it actually closes the project. This does not happen if no layouts have been selected through that window, but only by using the layouts tab in the main window or the various keyboard shortcuts to cycle through layouts and/or toggle between the Full Score layout and a part. It appears to do no harm whatever.
Steven, it doesn’t seem to be cycling. Just displaying this one static screen.
THe question remains: How do I get rid of it? Why did this happen in the first place? And how do I avoid it happening again?
Your suggestion that this was triggered by some keyboard shortcut is plausible, since this screen may have first flashed on the display when my fingers hit some key inadvertently – during an editing session. The problem when closing the project may have begun the next time I closed the project after that, although tbh, at this point I’m not sure of the exact details of what at the time seemed to have been an unimportant event.
Once I was able to replicate the behaviour, I then selected many recent layouts in this window. After issuing the command to close the project, it very briefly displayed each of the layouts I had selected and then closed the project. That’s what I meant by cycling through the recently selected layouts.
The keyboard shortcut to open the “Select a recent layout” window is ctrl/cmd+T (which is in the Window menu as New Tab). To close it, use ctrl/cmd+W, or click on the “x” in the “New Tab” tab.
THAT WORKED!!!
THANKS, STEVEN!
In retrospect, my fumbling fingers must have accidentally typed Ctrl-T. Really, it would have taken me a long time to figure this out without your help.
