Smart Shapes Won't Stay Put
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:43 pm
In m. 10 of the attached, the trill symbol and the hairpins will not stay as I place them. The trill should be directly above the A flat half note, and the crescendo should begin at the beginning of the notes with the expanding beams and last until the forte symbol, and the decrescendo should be between the forte and the mezzo-forte. The trill keeps moving to the right, and if I do anything--like trying to extend the wavy line to the right with the RIGHT arrow key--the entire symbol moves to the LEFT.
I've tried deleting them and re-entering them more times than I can count. In the version that I have for the flute part, I've tried entering these things directly on the flute part instead of in the score. Nothing works. They just won't stay where I want them to. The crescendo's end will collide with the F, and the beginning of the decrescendo moves to the left.
No doubt, it is related to how I moved notes manually in order to get the spacing of things right, but shouldn't things still stay attached to the notes they were originally attached to?
In the attachment that is the version for the flute part, they are in the fourth movement, also m. 10.
Any help and understanding of how I can fix this will make me very happy (and much less stressed!).
Thanks,
Mark
