Page editing
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Hi ! When I want to change the spacing of the systems by moving them with the handles, the systems do move but the other indications such as fingering, texts, cord n°, do not move at the same time and have, therefore, to be put in their place again. Is ther a way of avoiding this ?

coyita,
Basically, "the other indications such as fingering, texts, cord n°" should be attached to the staff you move.
Since they don't move with the staves, I suspect that you have entered them in Page View with the Text Tool.
It's only text blocks that can be page assigned, so you will only experience this particular problem with text blocks.
Chord symbols, articulations, expression &c. will move with the staff system.
Instead, switch to Scroll View before you enter the text blocks, and double-click inside the staff.
Enter the text (or just the beginning of the text).
A text block entered in this way is attached to the measure you double-clicked. It will display in red on the screen.
You can always later switch to Page View, and edit the text block:
- edit the text.
- edit the positioning (context-click the handle, in the context menu, select Edit Frame Attributes...). Or just drag the handle.
