Harp pedal changes don't appear as expected

Upper right corner says you mouse battery is dead.

I also don’t seem to have the same dialogue as you in my page layout. You have far more options. How so?

It’s the properties panel I’m showing. The Lower zone that you open with Cmd-8
on a Mac. Or in the Windows menu.

Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn’t. What’s the trick? This is way too time consuming guessing the program.

I’ve recharged it. Still doing it.

Sorry, I’m just a user trying to help.
It works perfectly here. There is no way for me to know why it’s
not working for you. Have you checked the documentation on Harp Pedals?
Or this (although old) video?

Jesper

Or this:

I did command 8 and there’s nothing about a harp pedal here.

You have to select a harp pedal or the green signpost of a hidden harp pedal for it to show. It’s context sensitive.

Got it!!! Hurray! You have to be in Engrave mode. Then it works. All fixed now. Thanks for your help. You must have been exasperated with me. (I don’t blame you - haha!)

Well, a tiny bit perhaps.

I’d strongly advise to not ask any AI system about Dorico procedures and techniques, the amount of hallucinated content is off the charts in my experience…

Yes, I’ve seen some pretty strange things alright. And what AI missed was that it had to be in engrave mode. Such a simple thing. Good advice.
