Adding measures
And so when I meet I demand more measures, I have been using edit--> add measures, which adds them at the end. This works nifty for adding 1-4 measures, but if I add, say, 24 bars....then information technology simply comes all packed into a system or two, not distributed out iii or 4 to a system. What's the correct mode to add measures when I see I'll need more than?

Re: Calculation measures
That's the right way. That doesn't happen to me, but try respacing after adding them.

Re: Adding measures
"Respacing?" I assume at that place's an easier way to do that than having to select a agglomeration of bars repeatedly and driblet them down?

Re: Calculation measures
Dropping them down is peradventure what got you lot into trouble, since it locks systems. To respace, select all and press Ctrl-4 (or whatever the equivalent is on the Mac). To unlock everything, select everything with the Selection tool and press U.
The measures volition automatically widen every bit yous add music to them, though, then I wouldn't worry too much about it just later you add them.

Re: Calculation measures
Yeah, that doesn't work for me....must have screwed something somehow in the settings....? If I select all and practice Control-iv nothing happens. Too, notes I enter are appearing totally squished together within the bars....or rather, some bars....it'due south inconsistent....have not had any trouble like this before....I tried saving and shutting down, reopening the piece, no difference.

Re: Calculation measures
bj, yous're on Windows, right? Select all, Utilities > Fit Measures... > whatever you lot want. (CTRL-1000 works the same style.) The CTRL-4 only works if there are notes in the measures.

Re: Adding measures
Okay, the "fit measures" pick did the trick. Cheers! Yes scroll view. But I'm still having two "spacing-style" issues: ane) entered notes are all squished, and ii) triplets volition not cooperate. #1 is restricted to THIS PIECE--THIS VERSION....not happening anywhere else. As far as triplets A(using tuplet), I have the same issue everywhere: I enter a triplet effigy as single notes, everything is fine. If I try to add together harmony notes, make it a chord, etc, instantly the triplet vanishes and it's just an i/viii note. Tried it 100 different bars, south....l....o....w.....l.....y, no departure. Inexplainable. Yes, making sure nothing's changed: tuplet is selected, one/8 selected....2 wasted hours on this so far.
