1.2: coda and segno on repeats palette

• Mar 1, 2012 - 15:42

Using a pre-prelease build (5213) of 1.2, I notice the coda and segno symbols on the repeats palette are pushed way to the right, and when I drag them to the score, they appear way to the right of my mouse pointer. Is that the result of some 1.1/1.2 incompatibility in customized palette files on my system, or is that how it is for real?

If not everyone sees this, that suggests it could be something about the custom palette settings leftover from 1.1 for those of us who seeing it. I would say I never actually customized bpmy palettes, but I know of one respct in which that isn't true: I have defined my own time signatures.

No, it's still there on a factory reset. I've deleted all my MusE and MuseScore folders. Investigating the code in mscore-palette.xml, there's a mistake for the four icons Segno, Coda, Varied Coda and Codetta. Change this code line

"p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:80px"

to this

"p align="center" style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px"

and they appear to be fine.

Lasconic fixed this issue in branch r5405. However, for me these 4 symbols are leaving remnants behind after they are placed and are repositioned. Maybe my suggested fix wasn't quite enough yet.

[EDIT] After checking mscore-palette.xml, I see the left margin value was corrected from 80 to 0. The symbols only have remnants after they are placed and then moved so I doubt the fix is the cause of this new problem.

However, if I change a portion of the line I mentioned previously for each of the four symbols from

p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;

to

p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px;

then the symbols work without any remnants. Only segno needs 4 or 5, the others can be smaller, like 3 or maybe 2. I didn't have time to check every value for every symbol.

v1.2 R5410, Win7 32-bit.

Is there a precompiled version of 1.2 available?

My machines are too full of multimedia and web-design stuff to start installing the wherewithal to slef-compile.
