Text ends up off screen in Galley View

All,

I’ve just come across this for the first time:

I have attached several text objects to the same rhythmic position. In Galley View, the text expands beyond the margins of the white space. You can see all of the text in Page View.

This has never really been an issue for me, but it was today on a student submission. Maybe this is common knowledge and something easily wired around, but I figured I’d bring it up because I didn’t see any other posts about it.

Seems to be a bug, but I did get the text to show with the following odd steps:

  1. Go to Setup and uncheck the Treble staff layout on the right. This will switch to Page view automatically for some reason.
  2. (Optional) Check the Treble staff layout
  3. Go to Galley view and the text is now visible.

Wow! How did you think to do that? I guess it recalculates the minimum distance to the system track when it sets up the part layout.

This is good to know when students send me stuff. Most of them work in MuseScore, and send me XML files. They often use text in MuseScore to make notes for themselves about future edits and issues we need to discuss. Since I almost always view in Galley View for these things, it’s helpful to have this workaround. Thank you!
