New version of MSC - Breaks and spacers - palette spacer symbol missing
Hi,
I've got the new version of Musescore/portable/x86.
Breaks and spacers palette used to have a double ended arrow icon which I used frequently to "make special" pieces of the score needed attention to. I'd indent those parts of the score by putting a space in front of a line....
The new version doesn't have double ended arrow. It has instead, a line break icon. Yeh, ok, that can be useful but I'd sure like the double ended arrow back so I can indent the front of the lines as required.
Is it here? Am I not looking in the right place? Is there a way to add that double-ended icon back into the Breaks and spacers pallet?
Thanks
C.

It is in "Frames and Bars" but I had to "Add Pallets"..

FWIW, you would only need to add that palette if you switched to the Basic workspace. Which, I suppose, probably happened if you're using the portable version. But maybe you'd be happier switching to Advanced, using the control at far right of the main toolbar.

Thank you for your suggestion but I'll stick with portable for the following reasons:
First, I really don't like all the changes the install does to the registry (personal preference).
Secondly, those registry entries prevent a second (or other) instance of the program running whereas the portable will allow me to have as many separate/unique installs as I want.
To explain: I set up one install, with open tabs of my "traditional" music that I'm practicing. I set up another install (different directory) with open tabs for my "modern" music for the same purpose...
I put separate/unique shortcuts on my desktop to each of the installs.
So, when I want to practice my "traditional", I click that shortcut and MSC opens my traditional music practice session with all the practice scores setup in that instance of MSC. I can do the same sort of thing for my modern practice session.
Interestingly, I can start up both "versions" at the same time. Play a few traditional, switch to the other open instance of MSC and do a few modern tunes. Back and forth, back and forth...
I can't do any of the above to the "non-portable" because of the registry entries..

I am not saying you need to switch from the portable version - you can switch to the Advanced workspace using that just as you could in the standard version.

I stand corrected...
Yes, I found it. Didn't even know about "basic" vs "advanced"..
Will have to check it out.
Thank you
