So I have an involved song. the main tracks are piano, with R&L hands, bass, melody and drums. Other tracks come in at places and if they aren’t there, then empty staves are blank. but at 43-48 there is only the piano track, while the bass, melody, and drums have notes throughout. Then they rejoin for the rest of the song to m158. What possible
Hi,
Could we get the screenshot of the Score, please?
Could it has to do with this setting?
Is this the same cubase version. All I see in the left zone is inspector and symbols. I don’t find that page and looked in the manual and that is all it says for left zone.
Elsewhere there is score settings and nothing like that.
Picture shows left part of score with left zone and also the top 2 staves, where bass and drums and melody don’t show unlike the staves below, and before on previous pages.
I already showed above that they aren’t empty there.
2 whole days to get this part of the piece to have all the parts satisfactory except for this anomaly and now a test print of page 1 shows that since I was able to get it down to 15 pages, by having the layout at 75%, it will all have to be redone as like in the other 2 projects posted about the reduction issue ruining the drum score, likewise here.
Hi,
This is Cubase 13 or older, with the old Score Editor, right?
Yes 13. I didn’t know updating would cause so many problems. I had hoped it would resolve ones, but it keeps adding - why I’m not eager to jump to 14. For example, in my 8.5, “edit is scores” in the drum map is not grayed out, and checkable. I just started a database yesterday, going through my unsolved problems here and noting, as I haven’t kept track with so many new ones arising all the time. Some are project specific and I didn’t note at the time where they occurred and went on to other projects. When I come upon them again, I will add such notes and links so I can find more easily. I was up to almost 50 when I tired for the night. I’ll check further and see if I have more to add, before going back to a project today.
It was suggested by tech, that I go back to an earlier version where the problem didn’t exist. So I tried about 4 versions and found one where I was able to get the whole score 15 pages at 75%, while knowing that I was losing a number of other changes that improved the latest version. All for naught anway as a test print of one page ruined the drum part as noted before. Here showing not a cell phone picture, just what it keeps doing again, only in this case not till the actual printing.
So after spending a full day getting the score as correct as I could with all the parts but finding it dropped 3 tracks in the middle of the score, and no solution except to find an earlier version. So it took 6 hours yesterday and more today, as in the older version the drums weren’t right, so I had to make new display settings, and rearranging all tracks again unreduced and not have the printing problem. I would print a page at a time and check if it was right before proceeding further . For some reason, when printing from Cubase, I can’t use a comma to do multiple pages, so I can only do all or a range such as 1-2, printing on both sides.
So much extra work because of this bug-ridden program, but for another project, I found a better solution. In this one, the reduced layout would look OK on screen, but a test print screws up the drum score, as shown before. Also I could not avoid having the empty count in measure or extra stuff following, without having empty measures. I deleted time to get rid of the 1st empty measure and then deleted all the stuff following what I wanted to print and saved as ‘reduced score’. Then I printed to file. Here I was able to use commas to print and print pages 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 then turn over and print 2,4,6,8,10,12,14, and no drum score errors and not requiring continual attendance. I think I may be able to print on both sides with this printer outside of Cubase also, though I didn’t try that.
How I wish I’d thought of this earlier.
So here I am again, a project where I am doing a layout for the 1st time of 6 tracks, I see on the very 1st page that after 2 staves and 5 measures there is nothing in the next 2 staves but the drum track with 3 measures. There is no previous layout to start from and spend a day and a half to update all the changes from a previous version with a layout. Why is this called Cubase Pro, when this bug-ridden program isn’t professional at all, and about every project I want to finish has such roadblocks? Is it mainly for just taking other people’s samples and drum loops and rearranging them, rather than creating everything from the start?
