Make into system not working

Hi. At bars 67 to 70 I am trying to make into a system. When I select the first bar and the last bar northing happens. Also not able to color the blue sections within those bars to pink. The two issues are probably related.

Thanks

Hi @Yavor_Kresic, if you see in menu View>Signposts, you deactivated the System Breaks signposts visibility:

If you reactivate it, you will see the system breaks signposts again: delete the one at bar 69:

I also have no problems with the magenta colour:

Hi. I forgot I did not have the system signpost on. Fixed. I’ve attached a video tpo show what’s going on with the coloring. I am using Dorico 5.

Maybe it is a Windows colour incompatibility, weirdness thing… ?(also ist strange that the 1/4 staff attached text will be hidden/ became a signpost… mh…)

I am able (on MacOS and Dorico 6) to colour those bars also in Write mode and using the system track to select (as you show)*. Did you try in Engrave mode, with a Marquee selection as in my previous GIF?

(Let’s see if someone else can try on Windows…)


Anyway, here the corrected file for you:

I do have Dorico 5. I might’ve done something in the settings causing the color not to work. I downloaded yours and will use that for now. Figuring out things as I go along. So much better for lead sheets then Sibelius. I know the developers of Sibelius are the Dorico developers now. Thanks for your help
