Adding a Line for Guitar No.2 [Solved]
Starting to find my way in MS 4.4.1 after having used version 2.3.2 for many many years.....
I am stuck with trying to add a Line above a measure of Guitar No.2 in a piece for 2 Guitars.
But whatever I try, MS 4.4.1 puts that line above the same measure for Guiar No.1 and refuses to place
it where I want it. I am certainly doing something wrong but what is it?
Could not find a solution in the 4.4 handbook.
By the way: is there a PRINTED version of this book? I hate to read texts from the monitor of my
PC.
I am using an AppImage and running PCLinuxOS KDE5 as O.S.

Oh yes, I know how to print a pdf file though......

No, I am NOT using a system line. Just selecting "Line" and drag it to a selected note.

If 3.6, then better 3.6.2...
adding the line works just fine here, 4.2.1, Windows 11.
Maybe Help > Revert to factory settings is due

I don't see how that could be relevant
Try this...
Click into an empty spot of the Guitar 2 measure (to select the whole measure) and then click the 'Line' in the palette. (Don't drag it.)
---OR---
Use a 'Staff' line to place on the second staff; then, in the Properties panel, eliminate the end hook (under the 'Style' tab) and the word 'Staff' (under the 'Text' tab).

That first suggestion WORKS!!
Tried the second suggestion but, in the end, could not really understand what you meant by this.
But....., anyway....., that first suggestion I will use.
Many thanks for that!

Originally I did this from the Handbook:
"Drag a line from a palette to the starting note"
And that caused my problem.
Now I do this from the Handbook:
"Select a range of notes,
Click on a line in a palette"
And that works.
