Unable to delete Sound Change events

[dj]

Hi, Reinhold:

Looking at the file now, I can see that the icon and text appear a trifle fuzzy, indicating that they are overlapped. And, on selecting and deleting the event 9 times, it does, indeed, disappear.

That's peculiar, as the situation resulted from a single copy/paste operation. How nine events got on top of each other is a mystery.

Is it possible that this is related to the difficulty experienced in deleting lyrics? It seems that the lyrics get "piled" on each other when this situation appears and it takes multiple deletions to get rid of the lyric.

As this goes back as far as Version 2.5.X (or before) and I haven't run into it before, I'd agree that it's a low priority.

However, at least we've identified a workaround.

All the best.

David,

Thanks, this confirms my gut feeling.
Yeah, I have always said in my software career that "when a developer does more harm to the software than improving it, the software is ready to be launched". So it is here. I have found the issue related to (a) which came in with a fix of copying beams with build 3.0.6-132. It fixes beam copying but the fix doubles/multiplies other elements like sound changes and lyrics. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Reinhold:

I can confirm that the "unable to delete sound change events" bug appears to be fixed with the 169 beta.

The related problem with "persistent" lyrics also appears to be fixed.

Nice.

Hi, Reinhold:

I spoke too soon regarding the "persistent lyrics" problem. It's still evident in the new beta.
