I'm trying to roll the chord shown, but on playback there's no effect. How do I get it to work?

Well seeing as there has been no answer two weeks after I posted this, I guess there's no way to do it?

Soli,

I have found inconsistent playback of rolled chords in different scores. Two thoughts.

1. It may have something to do with which staff the roll originates on. Did you apply it on the top staff and drag it down or vice versa?

2. A roll that starts on the first measure of a piece has no leading measure for the roll to begin on. Try putting a blank measure to the left of it.

Cheers,
Jer
