Dotted line export as continuous line

• Mar 25, 2021 - 13:11

I exported my score as PDF and everything looks normal except these lines, which i've put as "Dotted" in Inspector. This is how it looks in musescore:

This is the exported result:

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

The score is corrupt:
Measure 4, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 17/4; Found: 85/12

But If I export it to PDF, the dotted line is there

Looks like you did not use File > Export, but File > Print and a PDF printer (macOS Version 10.14.6 (Build18G103) Quartz PDFContext) instead

I deleted the corrupted measure altogether. The warning about the corrupted measure is gone when i reopen the score in Musescore, but the problem with the line remains. The problem might lie in the export then since we both did the same (File > Export) but i still get the continuous line in the PDF.

Not sure

Try File > Save online, then download the PDF from musescore.com (that'd use a Linux version or MuseScore to generate the PDF)

Made a new score, tried to export as normal with a dotted line. Exported as expected so i guess it's the score that's the problem. I'll just remake it and the problem should disappear.

Thanks for the help and the quick answers!
