I see white coloured text in my (from sibelius via musicxml) imported score, but can’t select and delete it. It’s visible because I see it “darkens” the objects behind it.
Drag-select an area that covers it, and filter for text.
That works, but is extremely difficult. Is there a workaround to “unwhite” all text in this score? I never made the text white.
Maybe Select all - Filter for text ?
I did that, doesn’t work…
What I tried: select all, filter on text, and then set all colour to black and non-opague. It doesn’t work, it stays white. Now I think I’ll have to manually find all text and hope I can delete it. That is weeks of work. Somebody else a workaround? And how did this happen? Any Ideas?
In the original dorico file I made from the musicxml, the non-chord chords are black and visible. I only copied all, and pasted it in a project that has all my favourite lay-out, and then the text got white.
Is it all text ?
Or are there also white tempo marks, playing techniques etc. Select an item and look in the status bar what type that object is. Then select all, filter object type
It’s “staff attached text” I don’t see a filter option for that. If I delete all text, I also delete other important info. Only the chords (that are no chords) are white, for some reason.
Whats the paragraph style of that text? Can you change that?
Opt-Shift-click to cycle through overlapping selections?
opt shift click doesn’t work
I don’t know how to find out what the paragraph style of that text is.
What if you double click on it?
Do you have a Paragraph Style “Reprise Chords Std Regular” ?
If I doubleclick I see “Bar numbers (parts)” where “Default Text” is in your example.
When I filter on that paragraph style, and press delete, nothing changes.
When I go to parts, I see them! Because the background is not entirely white. So I can go and delete them manually. It is an awful lot of work. If someone has another idea, it’s very welcome. But morr important: How can this happen?
It’s not white, and changing the colour doesn’t change anything. It’s an enigma. Is this a bug, maybe?
