note spacing and spacer
hi,
why is the note spacing funny?
I tried:
Layout>Reset Strech
and
Layout>Reset Positions
but nothing seems to happen...
Also i tried dragging the bottom staff further down but the spacer can be dragged through the staff so that does not work.
How should i do that?
Thanks!

How funny? Spacing looks good to me.

hi Lasconic, thank you!
I mean the eg. distance between the 3-4th and 8-9th beat (is smaller)
How about the (green)spacer?
Thanks!

Spacers don't work in the presence of hide empty staves. I use vertical frames instead when I need extra space between systems with hidden staves.
As for the note spacing, I don't see the issue either. Are you talking about the first measure? The spacing between beats 3/4 and 8/9 looks identical to me. I even measured it by drawing a line between two adjacent note stems, then dragging it around to use as a gauge. All beats that are just quarter notes are *exactly* the same size. Beats 5 &6 are, of course, wider because there are eighths involved. Perhaps the difference between stem position between up / down stems, or the ever-so-slight difference in size between quarter and half note heads, is playing tricks on your eyes?
Of course, it's also possible it looks different on your system for some reason (what version of MuseScore, what OS?). Here's a case where maybe posting a screenshot would be better if you really think spacing is off on your system.

Thank you!
Please see attached, it probably illustrates what i mean better.
" I use vertical frames instead "
where are they, please?
In reply to Thank you! Please see by aeLiXihr
That's definitely not how it looks on my system. Again, what version & OS? If not using 1.3, you should be.
As for frames, see create / measures, also the Handbook under Frame .

why does Ubuntu layout strangely?
In reply to why does Ubuntu layout by aeLiXihr
I don't think it does in general. At least, I don't recall anyone else posting about any problem in this area. Must be something unique about this particular score or your particular system. Maybe someone else on Ubuntu cares to try out the posted score to see if they experience the issue? Also, you could maybe do some more investigation to see if this happens with all scores or just some, and if just some, to see if you can figure out how to predict when it will happen.
In reply to I don't think it does in by Marc Sabatella
Thanks for your input!
...yes, i have(had) it with more scores.
eg. Bus168 has the same flaws on my other computer.
I will watch it to see if i can find out how it is happening
How can i make sure i have the most recent version all the time? i do not think these nightlybuilts are for me. (I do know how the command line works...)
In reply to Thanks for your input! by aeLiXihr
In Edit / preferences / update, you can make sure MuseScore checks for a more recent version.
but if you're going to be submitting bug reports and feature requests, you really should figure out how to get a night build installed so you can see what's already implemented. It's not difficult, takes only minutes.
In reply to In Edit / preferences / by Marc Sabatella
thanks Marc,
"you really should figure out how to get a night build installed" can you link me to how that is done please?
http://musescore.org/fr/node/5829
Is ms2.0 available yet? http://musescore.org/en/upgrading-musescore-1.x
If so how does one get it? and how come i have 1.2 installed in the first place when i did [code]sudo apt-get install musescore[/code] 12 days ago?
I that command wrong or should i add something to "musescore"?
On my other computer which i intalled way longer ago there is 1.3...
Please enlighten me :D
Thank you!
In reply to thanks Marc,"you really by aeLiXihr
Just check http://prereleases.musescore.org/linux/nightly/
In reply to Just check by Jojo-Schmitz
thank you yes i found that :)
I meant a more nooby explanation...
"Download one of the "mscore" files from below (nearest to the top is the latest)."
i clicked it, it downloaded to the desktop automatically. So that worked :)
"extract the bz2 archive."
how? i do not think i have a KDE desktop.
If i right-click the file, "Properties" i do not see "Is Executable"
i can choose Archive manager or Archive mounter ...
"It can also be done on the command line with "chmod a+x", followed by the name of the extracted file."
Is that just typing in a terminal:
[code]chmod a+x mscore-2013-09-20-19-18-c84969b.tar.bz2[/code] ?? or should i sudo something?
Thank you!
In reply to thank you yes i found that by aeLiXihr
Just in a terminal. First a "tar -xf mscore-2013-09-20-19-18-c84969b.tar.bz2", then a "chmod a-x mscore-2013-09-20-19-18-c84969b"
Note however, that mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2 may work, but mscore-2013-09-20-19-18-c84969b.tar.bz2 won't (it is way to small).
In reply to Just in a terminal. by Jojo-Schmitz
ohw, which one from the list do you recommend? and why?
And how do you know how big they are?
In reply to ohw, so which one do you by aeLiXihr
I'd take the latest.
Unless, like in this case, if it is unreasonably small.
Any you see the size while downloading. Expect some 117MB
and it'd be "chmod a+x mscore", as that's the (only) file in the compressed tar.bz2 archive, a single file with 356MB in size
In reply to I'd take the latest.Unless, by Jojo-Schmitz
okay thank you.
So:
- i download the file "-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2"
-then i open the terminal and i type:
[code]tar -xf mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2[/code]
and press [enter]
-then i type:
[code]chmod a-x mscore[/code]
and press [enter]
Is that right?
In reply to okay thank you. So: - i by aeLiXihr
Looks OK to me.
Then a './mscore' to start it
In reply to Looks OK to me by Jojo-Schmitz
"tar: mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"
i guess i will have to tell tar that the file is on my desktop?
In reply to "tar: by aeLiXihr
Indeed. Or your terminal session needs it current directory set to that, 'cd desktop' might do this
In reply to Indeed. Or your terminal by Jojo-Schmitz
Thank you, i realy apreciate your help, but i need a more noob proof explanation :)
This "cd desktop" command is not dangerous for future sessions? i mean what is the default and should i "cd" it back to that, once this tar thingy is finished?
So:
- i download the file "-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2"
-then i open the terminal and i type:
[code]cd desktop[/code]
and press [enter]
[code]tar -xf mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2[/code]
and press [enter]
-then i type:
[code]chmod a-x mscore[/code]
and press [enter]
like that?
Thanks again!
In reply to Thank you, i realy apreciate by aeLiXihr
Make it "chmod a+x mscore" instead
In reply to Make it "chmod a+x mscore" by Jojo-Schmitz

thanks!

ah :) i see sorry.
cd desktop outputs:
[code]bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory[/code]
In reply to ah :) i see sorry. cd desktop by aeLiXihr
Try "cd Desktop" i.e.. with an uppercase D
If that does not work, we should stop here, this not the "Beginner's guide to Linux", sorry.

"this not the "Beginner's guide to Linux""
...well probably not, it might however be useful for others too.
How to get a night build installed aparently is not so easy ;)
anyway, "cd Desktop" outputs:
[code]/Desktop$[/code]
the rest is not working:
[code]tar -xf mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2[/code]
and press [enter]
-then i type:
[code]chmod a+x mscore[/code]
and press [enter]
Tnx anyway!
In reply to "this not the "Beginner's by aeLiXihr
You need to 'cd' into the directory to where you downloaded the nightly, then unpack it with that 'tar' command, then make sure it is executable with that 'chmod' command, then execute it. Pretty easy in my eyes, but then again I learned Linux more than 20 years ago, and before it had a graphical frontend :-)
Didn't use it much in the past couple years though.
In reply to "this not the "Beginner's by aeLiXihr
Also you may need to add a 'j' to the tar options: "tar -xjf mscore-2013-09-20-18-00-c84969b.tar.bz2"

"In Edit / preferences / update, you can make sure MuseScore checks for a more recent version."
okay, i checked "daily" and restarted the program but i am still on 1.2 5470
i do not get it?
In reply to I don't think it does in by Marc Sabatella
I just tried the MS file in my copy (version 1.1, Ubuntu something-or-other); I seem to see no problems, no odd spacing, just about what you have in the later PDF version.
