Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
I write a lot of scores for my band using a template I've developed, and a style I use for each part.
Whenever I apply the style to each part, the chords are formatted the way I want, but if I ever close the score and reopen, the chords are incorrectly formatted. When that happens I can sometimes get what I want by reloading the style file, but sometimes I have to go chord-by-chord and retype them. This has led to many wasted hours re-engraving.
- Load attached Test Score, or create new score from attached template
- Open Guitar Part
- Apply attached Test Style
- See chord format (see "Correct")
- Close Score
- Reopen
- Open Guitar Part
- See chord format (see "Incorrect")
