Controlling screen refresh

Hi, Tim:

You could go into layout and lock all the measures.

A quick test let me put a long run of 16ths into a very tight bar at the end of a locked page without re-formatting of the page.

Might do what you want.

Thanks. I normally work in Window View but I will try your suggestion in Page View and see if it helps.

Hi,

I only work in window view. This irritating behaviour, which I named “Loss of Focus” many years ago, was quite bad those many years ago. By version 2.6, Mark Walsen had improved on it. It still is not quite right and can be annoying.

During editing, Composer needs to keep record of the point of focus and the number of measures before and after. After the edit and distribution of space of the notation, I would expect that composer positions the point of focus as close as possible, relative to the initial position. This may reposition the point of focus a bit, but not right off the screen.

Best Wishes,

Herbert
