Double clicking on existing score does not select point to move via shift >

• Jan 20, 2018 - 00:03

I am working on a piece where I am changing a considerable number of slurs.

I am moving either the start or end point(s) by selecting each slur by double clicking. At that point the handles appear with the end point highlighted. Shift > has no impact unless I select a different handle and then reselect the end handle.

Observe nevertheless that you can select all the different handles by hitting successively the TAB key (and combination with Shift key to alternate Start and End points/handles)
Eg:
Double-click (edit mode): the end point/handle is highligthed -> Hit TAB: result: point 1 highlighted -> Again hit TAB: point 2 highlighted, etc.
You can return to point 1 (or others) with Shift + TAB

To begin with the Start point: double-click -> Shift + TAB (and TAB again for going to End point)

The point is that the end handle is shown as being selected, but in reality it is not. One should not need to Shift+TAB then TAB again to reselect what is already selected. BTW, Ctrl+arrows move the handle just fine without needing to reselect the handle.

Well... I was actually clarifying what xavierjazz said suspecting cadiz1 didn't understand because of his reply. I didn't test it (which I should have) and I don't usually use shift to move slurs or lines endpoints. Having said that, I just tested it and it works fine for me also. I also tested it in 2.2 which works fine also.

What version are you using @xavierjazz?

"The point is that the end handle is shown as being selected, but in reality it is not."
?
The end handle is shown as selected and perfectly movable as expected here.

For the rest, my purpose/reply was to indicate above all that it was possible to navigate throught the handles and so edit the slur only with TAB and Shift keys, with never use the mouse to re-select something.

That's I had understood firstly with the xavier's question.
