Setting Duration of Figured Bass Group not working
Setting Duration of Figured Bass Group not working
Hi,
I try to change the duration of a figured bass group. The group should span four 1/8 notes, so it would be a halve note duration.
In the handbook it says that this should be done with Ctrl+6. When the group is active and I press Ctrl+6 a strange angle symbol gets inserted:
When focus is away from the figured bass group the strange symbol has disappeared, but the duration is not adjusted as hoped.
When looking at the shortcuts under preferences, Ctrl+6 is assigned as expected.
Thanks for your help!

I cannot replicate this on my Linux Mint 17.1. This is was I get with Ctrl+6:
NOT FOUND: 1
Yours seems a keyboard conflict. The '6' is supposed to be the key on the top row of the keyboard, not the '6' in the numeric key pad. Which keyboard layout do you have?
Just as a test, you may try reassigning that action to a different short-cut (any unassigned key would be fine; IIRC, 'P', 'T' and 'Y' are not used by the default short-cuts) and see if it works.
If it does, then something in your computer (keyboard layout, system-defined short-cuts, XCompose, ...) is interacting and possibly 'stealing' that key stroke. In this case, I'm afraid there is little we can do.

Hi Miwarre,
Assigning to Ctrl+Y worked. I'm using a azerty-keyboard. So I used the numeric pad (since one has to hold down Shift to form numbers with the top row of the keyboard on azerty.
To my surprise Ctrl+Shift+6 (on the top row) also worked!! That's very good news, because with lots of programs it doesn't work like that with an azerty-keyboard.
Thanks a lot for your help...

Glad you solved the problem. AZERTY keyboard, then digits as shifted keys; if you need to push [Shift] to get the '6' character, then [Ctrl]+[Shift] does generated [Ctrl]+'6' indeed.
True, it does not work always (keyboard with different shift states are always a problem), but usually it does.
