Chuck,

Document Options -> Multimeasure Rests -> UNCHECK Update Automatically

You will then need to Select All with the Measure Tool and go Measure -> Multimeasure Rests -> Create for Parts/Score whenever you make changes to the score. (N.B. Doing this will reset all multimeasure rest widths.)

There is no problem with Automatic Update Layout. You should leave that ON.

Cheers,

Hi Darcy,

I am checking the results of turning of Auto update layout and auto music spacing now, but I can't find Auto Update MM rests, and this is also a problem, as I sometimes need to change the width of the rest symbol to accommodate clef changes etc.

Where is that one?

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

"Automatic Music Spacing" will *always* override your custom measure widths whenever a change is made, whether you use linked parts or not.

"Automatically Update Multimeasure Rests" makes it impossible to permanently edit multimeasure rest widths, which you had complained about earlier, so I'd assumed you'd turned that feature off.

Hi Darcy,

Yes, I do have those on. Is that the problem? If so, so simple to fix!

Thanks,

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

I have not seen this, nor can I reproduce it.

Surely you don't have "Automatic Music Spacing" turned on? How about "Automatically Update Multimeasure Rests"?

Cheers,

Hi all,

I have asked this before, but I have forgotten if anyone had come up with a solution.

Linked parts - edit measure widths in one line or another, go on to another part, return to edited part and find the measure widths have returned to their defaults. Of course, I understand that one is always working in the score, so moving these widths is affecting more than the part one is seeing and editing at the moment, so I understand how the measures might be being pulled back to their original positions.

There seem to be two choices: print the edited part to pdf before moving to a new part and assume that those edited measures will be misplaced, if any more work needs to be done on the part later or; extract the part. In either case, this seems to be a reduction in the functionality of the part linkage. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Chuck
