Time signature and tuplet number are under staff

Problem: as you can see, the time signature and tuplet number are under staff, not in write or engrave mode, but only in print mode. How do I solve it? I can move tuplet numbers manually, but not time signatures.

Is this with the destination Graphics or Printer?

Jesper

It is for printer

Does it look OK with Graphics? If so, try to export a PDF and print that. Otherwise, if you could supply the file or part of it that shows the problem.

Jesper

No difference between printer and graphics. Must add that this is part of a music frame chaine.

Please post your project file here, so we can have a look.

What music font do you use? Also, did you try to restart Dorico and perhaps reboot your computer?

Here is the problem in its entirety

This is what it looks like on my computer.

It should look like this. Here I have tried working with frame chains.
I am an old Finale user trying to find my way through Dorico

I don’t have your Italianno font, but as you can see, the time signatures are ok. Try to change the Library→Fonts→Time Signature Font and Tuplet font to Bravura. You can’t have a plain text font for those. Well, you can if you set Library→Engraving Options→Tuplets to Plain Font, and Library→Layout Options→Time Signatures to Plain font. Also Default Music Text Font should be Bravura Text.

Hi @bjarnebajas, after installing the Italianno font, it looks ok on my system. See if opening this resaved file improves your spacings:

Thanks, Jesper, that was right. It’s good to have a place to turn to when things get tough.
