Windows 7, GIT commit: 6c5b016

1) create score
2) add a plain horizontal line
3) move it up so you can see it (it defaults to overlapping top staff line!)
4) right click
5) Line Properties
6) check "Hook"
7) OK
8) save
9) load

Result: hook is gone

Text works. Default text style is crazy big, though - a holdover before there was a way for the ottava and other special symbols to override the default text style?


Comments

About text size, it should probably be another issue. The text is big because it's the same style than Pedal lines and the pedal symbols need to be 20.

lasconic guess is correct:

if both hook properties (length and type) are the same as the default values (1.5sp and HOOK_90), neither is saved.

However this means that nothing is saved and the very info that there is a hook in the first place is lost. A case of over-optimization, I think...
