Troubleshooting for Note Display
- When I enter a note with one value, it is shown as a note with another value.
-
-
In the Score Settings dialog (Staff–Main tab), lower the Rests value.
-
In the Score Settings dialog (Staff–Main tab), deactivate Auto Quantize, especially if you do not have any triplets or triplets only.
-
- When I change the length of a note, nothing happens.
-
-
In the Score Settings dialog (Staff–Main tab), set the Notes value to the smallest value that you have in your project.
-
- Notes are still shown with the wrong values although I have adjusted Display Quantize and the other staff settings.
-
-
Insert Display Quantize events.
-
Use polyphonic voicing.
-
Select
.
-
- There are a number of short rests after my notes.
-
-

Lengthen the note physically or graphically or delete it and add a new one with the correct note value.
NoteIf this problem occurs a lot in your score, raise the Rests value in the Display Quantize section of the Score Settings dialog (Staff–Main tab).
-
- Notes are not displayed at the correct positions.
-

- One long note is shown as many tied notes.
-
-
Set up polyphonic voicing if other notes occur at the same positions but with different lengths.

- When I select a note, nothing is shown on the info line.

-
The note is probably tied to another note. This means that the second note does not really exist, it is just a graphic indication that the main note is long. Select the main note instead.
-
- The note has an accidental when it shouldn’t, or it doesn’t when it should.
-
-
Move the note to the correct pitch or use enharmonic shifting.
