Deletion
Hi all,
I decided to change a soprano part to a tenor part, both voices using treble clef. The first stave of the new tenor part was labelled "Tenor" and from then on the beginning of the stave lines were marked quite simply with a "T".
After having to make some adjustments to the score, I now find that additional "T" s have begun to appear in odd places in the score. I can't get rid of them. Oddly, there has been no change to any of the beginnings of the tenor stave lines, which have all retained the original "T"
Grateful for any suggestions to delete these annoying glitches. Some photos are attached.
Sincerely,
Vegetatis

Images don't help much. Please attach the score file (.mscz file).

Hi DanielR
Thanks for replying.
The photos I sent show the problem - the letter "T" appearing at odd intervals. I suppose I could save the affected pages and then paste them on to a new score. But thats cumbersome and would not be necessary if there was a simple delete method to get rid of them.

The photos don't help in investigateing why these stray "T"s are there. And so we can't tell you how to fix it

Nor does a photo tell us what these "T"'s are. Whether they indeed are displaced short instrument names or a different text element alltogether.

Hi Jeetee
Yes, they can only be displaced short instrument names. But the problem is that they now won't move. They were originally entered using a text box. After the adjustment to the score quite a lot of these "T" signs were displaced. I was able to move most back. But two or three have refused to move.

Switch from 'Page View' to 'Continuous View' and try to locate any errant 'T'. See if you can click and delete.

Thank You Jm - it worked like a charm. Whereas previously it was impossible to highlight the offending "Ts, as soon as I went into "continuous " view they highlighted straight away. Deletion was then as normal. So thank you. My thanks also to all forum members who offered advice. This is a great site.

As far as I can tell from just a picture, those "T"'s are just staff text. The only way to prove otherwise is to attach the score itself.

> "They were originally entered using a text box."
Is exactly the reason why these are not short instrument names (in the musescore type of element sense) and why jm6stringer's advise worked.
It's also why we've repeatedly asked you to share the score; then one look in the status bar would've told us that too without having to do all this guesswork.

As I said, I'm grateful to all for their help. Regarding sending the whole score, I tried but couldn't work it out. Probably because I'm nearly 80 and don't possess the technological ability like younger people, But thanks anyway.

Thanks for help. Problem now solved.
It sounds like maybe you didn't use the "Staff/Part Properties" window to change the voice name. As in, right click the original staff label (Soprano), select Staff/Part Properties.

Thanks Bobjp, problem now solved. But thanks for the advice which I'll adopt the next time I do something similar.
