Hello, Marc:

Do please post a screen shot. You can attach a jpeg file to your posts using the manage attachments button at the bottom of the new post dialogue box.

I've not encountered what you're mentioning, so I'd have to have a look at it to see what's going on.

Please put up a screen shot. It might take a little while to get back as the (very small) Notation Software staff are out of touch at the moment and a number of users are filling in.

David

Hello, may be this can help you: when I have this trouble I have to restart Notation. Then it works until "something" happens...Regards. Marc

Hi Marc,

What steps are you taking to try to select something?

A typical set of steps to select a single note might be:

1. Open a .mid file in Notation Composer.
2. Click the "Select" mode button in the toolbar.
3. Click on the 2nd quarter note in the first measure of the top staff.

Giving me some precise steps for your method of selection will help me to narrow down the possibilities.

It looks like from your screen shot that you're pressing the "S" key and clicking in a staff. The "S + mouseclick" shortcut is used for Staff, not Select. (I also see that it's not included in the Help/Users Guide - Appendix A - Keyboard shortcuts either - gotta fix that.)

If you want to use a keyboard shortcut to help in selecting a region, Ctrl + mouse drag is the one you'd want.

If the above "notes" (pun intended ) don't help, please do let me know a bit more detail.

ttfn,
Sherry

No, sorry. It is not the mouse...Well I sum up: After a "quiet" working moment, I click on the + or "arrow" button, I select a note. When I click on the staff to add it, I get the window "select staff" and cannot enter anything. I have to restart Notation to be able to enter some notes. After this, the cycle starts again : a few notes are added without trouble and then... I just add I use Notation for years and I know how to add, select and so on. That is not the problem. It seems something "confuses" at some point notation (I think it is when I switch from a button to another one ( "+" button and "arrow" button or when selecting quarter notes and change to eigth for instance).Regards.Marc
