layout problem – horizontal accidental position layer 2
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 1:50 pm
Working with an orchestral score, two instruments per staff (layer 1 = player 1, layer 2 = player 2). The score displays great, the problem is with the parts.
Initially I used a definition to create parts, but abandoned this because it made inserting cues much more difficult (I could not get layer 4 to appear because the part definition was only taking layer 1 / layer 2 depending on the part). Instead I am making the parts using staff styles to hide the other player. All fine so far...
Until, there are passages where the two voices are close together and there are accidentals. In the score, the accidentals are horizontally displaced (rightly so) in order to avoid collision. However, in the part I am now faced with all sorts of accidentals that are no longer positioned correctly – and I can't figure out how to move them (or better yet to reset the horizontal positioning). Jari's plugin does not work in this case. Also, all the horizontal positioning I have to do by hand (with the accidental mover tool) now appears in the full score as well, so there are now collisions in the score. This is turning into a nightmare, is there any way short of extracting parts to fix this?
