Hi Richard,
I'm trying to typeset a Mandolin Orchestra piece with 8 staves where the first movement has
3 opening bars unmeasured - timed at 10 s
60 bars at 6/8
7 Unmeasured staffs.
I assumed, wrongly it seemed, that what I should do, in the top "Marks Staff" is to start off with an Time Signature >> Unmeasured Staffs(on/off), insert barlines where specified, after the last inserted barline use Time Signature >> Unmeasured Staffs(on/off) again, then set the time signature for the following bars.
It did not work.
So, to try an example I repeated the process in a new file on a single music staff.
Unmeasured to start, then some arbitrary musac for 3 bars, inserted barlines. After the third barline Time SIg change to 6/8 and some notes (which were split correctly in the editor into 2 bars of 6/8)
The typeset music was as below; the 6/8 in the fourth bar was not recognised in Typeset.
Perhaps I have misunderstood; I looked in the Manual, but didn't find any help with Unmeasured staffs.
Should I be using Cadenza time instead?
best wishes
Joe
