Hi and thanks for a great piece of music software for us freedom lovers! I've just started using Rosegarden, and have encountered a problem that I can't seem to find any help for neither in the manual, tutorial or in the usergroup archives: I had added some time signature changes to my composition (before recording anything there), and then realized that I had gotten one of them wrong. I changed it from 5/4 to 6/4, but although the time signature in that measure now says 6/4, it is still in effect a 5/4 measure: the ruler and the notation still depicts a 5/4 measure, and the next bar (which is in 9/4) begins one beat too soon. It seems as if Rosegarden is unable to squeeze in that extra beat there that I asked it for, and the time signature change hasn't really been made, although it claims to have been. What went wrong here? I don't want to report it as a bug until I have assured myself that this isn't simply me misunderstanding something vital about managing time signature changes. Thanks in advance! Gunhild |

I probably did more pre-release testing than any of us, and time signatures aren't actually something I would have played with at all, so I could have very conceivably missed something. We'd appreciate a formal bug report at SourceForge, along with a simple (!) test procedure for verifying the bad result. -- D.

I don't know. From the description, it certainly sounds like a bug -- in particular, the bit about the ruler still showing 5/4 suggests that it isn't just a misunderstanding or a wrong expectation about how the notation will reformat after a time signature change. But I haven't managed to reproduce it in a couple of quick tests. Can you work out a procedure starting from an empty composition that shows this problem? Alternatively, send me (off-list) an example Rosegarden file that exhibits the problem. Chris |
