Songtext different voices not correctly repositioned

• Jan 30, 2019 - 15:21

Songtexts over different voices are placed on top of each other.

In version 2.3.2:

In version 3.0.2: No changes made, only auto repklacement:

I think this is a bug (in a nice feature!)

Select any lyric you can reach in voice 1.
In the inspector change the Placement from Below to Above and all of the lyrics in voice 1 will move to above the staff.

This is actually a bug that is being worked on. When the bug is fixed, you will need to right click a lyric, use Select>More and specify Voice 1 to select all lyrics in voice 1 before changing the placement in the inspector.

When the bug is fixed, changing the placement on one lyric will only affect that lyric as expected.

Thanks Mike!
The first part of your reply I did find myself too. It places the whole voice above and that was not the question.
I am facing two probems:
1) After initiaL auto placement the lyrics of 2 voices are placed on top of each other
2) I was not able to manually adopt the placing of (parts of) the lyrics of a voice

Could you give a bug numer, please?

Mike,
In fact I am discribing 2 problems here (and I am sorry for that):
1- On initial auto placement the lyrics of different voices are placed on top of each other.
This can never be correct! Since one of the goals of auto placement is to avoid collision it can never be right to put 2 different lyrics on top of eachother.

2- Could not place part of a lyric above the staff.

Problem 1 is described in "#282629: Lyrics can not be be placed above/below staff individally, only the whole verse".
However, the autoplacement problem is not!
