Full measure rest created in next measure if changing length of chordrest in voice 2,3,4 creates rest at end of measure
Ubuntu Studio 14.04, GIT commit: cf1da9f
1) new score, flute,. 4/4, 32 measures
2) measure 1, note entry, voice 2
3) 4 G Esc
4) select and delete the eighth
5) click the G
6) 5
Result: the G turns into a quarter note, which should have taken up the space left by the "hole" leaving everything else intact, but instead the remaining rests are shifted around and a rest is created in the next measure. The score looks corrupt, although the rest in the next measure can be deleted and as far as I can tell you are no worse off than you were before (you still have a hole in your measure).
Comments
Actually, the hole has nothing to do with it.
Repeat the same steps exactly but without step 4. Increasing the length of a note in voice 2 always creates a measure rest in the next measure, and it appears corrupt in that the rest is not laid out correctly. That seems to be because the layout code isn't expect measure rests in multiple voices. The layout issue might be something I broke with a recent change involving measure rests in multiple voices, but this case shouldn't be happening in the first place.
The apparent corruption was fixed a while ago. The steps listed above still create a full measure rest in voice 2, but at least it gets centered now and no longer looks corrupt. And you can select & delete it normally. Still, I think we shouldn't be interfering with measure 2 at all.
the corruption would have been major or critical, so now we should be down to normal, not minor?
Anyway, #61141: changing note value in voice 2 causes whole rest to appear in following measure had just ben marked as a duplicate (and is 'normal')
It was never truly corrupt - just looked that way because of the bad layout.
To me, this is minor because the situation that leads to this isn't all that common and it is simple to just delete the rest, but if you feel like raising the priority, go for it.
Hmm, I though I did... apparently not, so here it goes
FYI, this is still an issue in 3.0-dev 3543170...I had made a duplicate bug report accidentally in #183471: increasing duration of note in any voice shouldn't produce unnecessary rest in next measure. If nobody takes this up, I might give it a shot.
Noting that happens with all voices (except voice 1, of course). Note that with voice 3, the rest in the next measure will appear *underneath* the regular measure rest, so you won't see it, but it is still there according to the debugger. (Credit to mike320 for discovering this )
I'm also noting that the rest in the next measure is only created if and only if changing the duration of a chordrest will cause the creation of a rest at the end of the measure. (Credit to mike320 for discovering this )
I observe this behavior on both 2.0.3, latest 2.1-dev 3543170, and latest 3.0-dev ee309b5.
