Is this a small bug in dynamic mark placement?

• Feb 10, 2021 - 18:10

I've noticed this a few times, I think always at the beginning of a system. All the dynamic markings in this example have the same x and y offsets, but the ones on the downbeat appear higher above the staff. If you shift them to the right (increase x) just a little, they drop down to match the others. As if avoiding some invisible obstacle northeast of the clef symbol.

I'm in 3.6.2.

Yes, looks like that. Seems a bug.

In a debug build with skyline switched on:

Moving is sideways a bit:

There is that little bugger...

Edit: seems the skyline is not saved in photo mode :-(

Then look at this:

Culprit is the keysig:

      <Measure>
        <voice>
          <KeySig>
            <accidental>0</accidental>
            </KeySig>
          <Dynamic>
            <subtype>mp</subtype>
            <velocity>64</velocity>
            </Dynamic>
 ...

Now reported in #317319: C-Major/a-minor and atonal key signatures cause other elements, like dynamics, to move up

And it is a 3.6 regression, 3.5.2 doesn't have that issue

Well, it does too, just under slighly different settings
