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 (StaffMain tab), lower the Rests value.

  • In the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain 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 (StaffMain 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 Scores > Functions > Score Notes to MIDI.

There are a number of short rests after my notes.
  • In the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain tab), raise the Rests value.

  • In the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain tab), activate Clean Lengths.

In the Score Settings dialog, I change the Display Quantize settings on the Staff page (Main subpage) and nothing happens.
  • Click Apply.

  • Did you already insert Display Quantize events in the score? These override the staff settings.

There is a pause after a note that I don’t want.
  • Lengthen the note physically or graphically or delete it and add a new one with the correct note value.

    Note

    If this problem occurs a lot in your score, raise the Rests value in the Display Quantize section of the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain tab).

Notes are not displayed at the correct positions.
  • In the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain tab), change the Notes value.

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.

  • In the Interpretation Options section of the Score Settings dialog (StaffMain tab), select a Syncopation option if the notes are syncopated.

Notes are not tied as I want them.
  • Use the Cut Notes tool.

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.
