Wow! I decided to try this anyway, after compiling the latest from CVS. Looks like the on-screen notation view stuff is fixed now. Print preview still looks like it did in the screenshot I attached originally. No title and whatnot whatsoever in the preview. Previously, what I got on paper was always exactly what I saw in the preview, so I expected no difference. I was wrong. Hugely wrong. I wish I had a scanner so you could see this! It has the title/subtitle/composer at the top pretty as you please, and the copyright notice at the bottom. The track names are printing in what looks to be a grossly oversized font (about 24 pt. I'd guess). The bottom track name overlaps the copyright notice. It only had room to print one bar with those huge names, and it seems to have printed the first bar in the first segment in time, even though that bar is actually pushed left past the beginning of the composition. (the-rose-garden.rg a version of which is in CVS already) Trying again with a known notational quantity, I printed the first page of glazunov just fine. It looks rather nice, actually. Much better slurs than on-screen. The only thing is it should print the notes in black instead of gray. I guess this is supposed to be blue? But why are these notes blue? I don't even have an open notation view. Hrm. I bet the font overlap problem is not due to the big font per se, but confusion about where to draw the bottom margin. Could even be an A4 vs. Letter question perhaps. The bottom notes/flags on the bottom staff in a many-track composition are all cut off. But it's a damn sight better than I was expecting. Broken preview is far less critical than broken printing. So this is progress indeed, and maybe worth the effort of having the futzed up crazy font config thing. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
