Nearing completion on a project, I’ve suddenly encountered an unpredictable bug that unfortunately carries over into print mode: Rehearsal marks and tempo indications start appearing on all staves as soon as an edit around the object is made—and then it applies to numerous other system objects throughout the score. (Perhaps this is similar to the “rehearsal mark floating ever upward” bug.)
There are also places in the score in which lyric spacing seems to be unpredictable. (In multiple places it was necessary to add spacing changes in order to space lyrics manually, but it’s in areas where I tried to reset to default behavior that the unpredictability arises.)
Has this been documented? I couldn’t find it after a search of the forum. I’d be happy to email the project to a developer if requested.
This happens to me occasionally and randomly, mostly with very large scores, with any type of system object. When I change the object in any way, it looks normal again and stays that way. I cannot see any connection between the appearance and my previous actions in the score. I definitely did not edit these system objects when they were displayed repeatedly, nor did I even work on the page where this happened. Unfortunately, I have to check the output every time.
