Re: noteheads in different layers
Another way : select layer 4, Document -> Show active layer only, then Utilities -> Change -> Noteheads.
In JW Change, you can also select "Custom Shape" and find a suitable notehead.

Another useful tool for repeated measures (or even non identical measures, or drum parts) is the JW Pattern plug-in -> Sequences -> Numbered Measures. A dedicated expression category can be created to define font, size, position of the number. A "profile" can be created to attach the numbers to scor...

Re: slashes used as repeat symbols
It is a staff style (Staff tool -> Apply Staff Style To -> Score and Parts -> Slash Notation) that you will apply to the partial region of the measure. The staff style being purely graphic, to hear the audio, you first need to copy the figure and paste it to the repeated spots. Then select the regio...

Re: Speedy Entry - MIDI Input Channel - Restrict to Ch. 1????
Have you tried Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Midi Thru -> instead of the usual "Smart" button, try Fixed Channel : 1. Not tested.
Otherwise, your midi interface maybe set to send on a unique channel temporarily.

Re: Slash Cords - Colliding
Chord Kerner v.2 (a great script for RGP Lua, Mac only for the moment) works fine with RGP Lua 0.67. The later versions have problems.
A good reason to keep several versions of RGP Lua, in separate sub-folders of the plug-in folder.

Re: Slash Cords - Colliding
In your music, an oblique slash would be more adapted to conventions (alternate Bass defined "as Subtext") which usually means a chord on top of a bass note, not 2 superimposed chords (a horizontal line) This would solve your issue. To do it globally (also for the A-7 over D) select your whole piece...

The chords may have been moved in the part, so they are unlinked to the score, where they appear orange.

Re: Inserting flat symbol into Score Manager/"Score Name" Insert with Raleway font
On the Mac (where Ctrl is often replaced by the Cmd key), it is Cmd+Shift + F and S.
In the part name (Manage Parts -> Edit Part Name), the characters don't display the musical symbol, but they are fine on the part.

Re: Inserting flat symbol into Score Manager/"Score Name" Insert with Raleway font
It is not possible to have 2 fonts in the File Info -> Score Name box. But if you go to the score, you can add another text (which uses another font in the same text box, after or before the Score name). It would more complicated if the musical symbol has to be in the middle of the score name. In th...

Is the JW Plugins folder that you have created a subfolder of the Plug-ins folder ? It should be. Do you see that subfolder in the plugins menu ?
