Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce

The toggle to display brackets, clefs and key signatures on next measure does not work when horizontal frame is at the start or end of a system.

When the horizontal frame is:

  • at the end of a system, the toggle does nothing for the following bar
  • at the start of a system, the toggle does not affect clefs and key signatures, and the brackets jump to an incorrect mid-measure position. Saving and reloading the score causes the brackets to draw at the correct position, but the toggle in properties is ignored.
