Bug description
There is an issue with the "Set to verse" command in the Lyrics section of the Properties panel.
The problem is that if you try to swap non-adjacent verses using the spinners, any intermediate verses are put out of order as well. This is remedied by using direct numerical entry which swaps non-adjacent verses directly without changing the order of intermediate verses
This command needs some adjustment so that only direct swapping of verses is allowed. This will maintain the existing order of any intermediate verses
Steps to reproduce
METHOD 1
- Open the attached MS4 file.
verse_numbers.zip - Select the lyrics in verse 1
- Use the "Set to verse" spinner to change verse 1 to verse 5
RESULT: Verses 1 and 5 are swapped as expected. However the other verses have been swapped around as well; this is unlikely to be the desired result
METHOD 2
- UNDO the changes
- Select the lyrics in verse 1
- Enter 5 in the "Set to verse" text box
RESULT: Verses 1 and 5 are swapped as expected. The other voices retain their positions as expected.; this is likely to be the desired option.
