HELP - QUESTION

• Mar 13, 2019 - 17:06

Hi!

I just notice one "problem" that i can not resolve. Maybe it is not a problem at all, so I ask for help.
I hope i will describe my "problem" suficiently.
When i start a new project, i notice i get one tiny blue dot in 1. voice with violin cleff, i dont know why in what it do...in tried everithing... (picture 1)
The real problem is, that the small blue dot is also in the bas cleff...and if I write with 3th and 4th voice, there will be also 1.st voice present with pause on...
I cant delete 1st voice in bass cleff - pauses remain whatever I do...
I think if I greyed out those pauses, the print will be just 1 & 2 voice on violin cleff and 3 & 4 voice in bass cleff, however I think this could be resolved some other way...

Plesa help - and look at the print screen pics...

The "dot" is telling you the first measure is a pickup -it's not a dot but a minus sign, informing you that the measure has fewer beats than the time signature.

The rests are because you are using voices incorrectly - you should always start with voice 1 for each staff. So, soprano and alto are voices 1 & 2 in top staff, tenor and bass are voices 1 & 2 in bottom staff. You will very rarely need voices 3 or 4.

hmmm...thats probably one solution - however I had something else in mind - like new stave, but it begins in the middle of the song - in I dont have to create all new instument stave, and then delete staffs till certain staff - i think there was allready some options for some "smaller stave/stuffs" above normal staves?...
Ones more - it must be created in the middle of the song - and also for printing options - if i create additional instrument or voice - and then delete empty staves, i get a lot of empty space on the paper - in other words, in sheet 1 i have 4 diferent intruments, in sheet 2 i need to have 5, but without free or empty space fot that 5th intrument in 1st page or sheet...

I hope you understand, what i am asking...*?

thnx
