      — Very minor issue —

      When I add measures that carry over in to new pages, the top staff line is a little too low and I always have to drag it up a little. Could we be able to set that point or could we have it to copy the height of the top staff of the previous page?

      There is so much rewrite announced for Encore 6, that it doesn’t make sense to mention minor issues or limitations present in E5. Taking those into consideration could only delay the initial delivery. And when E6 comes out, we’ll need to prioritize major issues with minor ones or simple suggestions.

        That is up to the developer how they prioritize and delegate issues.

          It’s all speculation but I do think that Encore “6” is not going to be as related to Encore 5 as it is to Overture. And so most things that Encore did probably will be different in Encore “6”. But who knows. I’m with you, though on that being one repetitive thing that happens.

          I don’t know if this would help – but my old template I only had measures on the first page. I noticed I was always having add measures due to compressed rests and such – even for one pagers. So now my template has maybe 4 pages of empty measures. I wonder if you could setup a template where you have multiple pages out the gate and have pre-adjusted pages 2+ top line to meet what you want to see. So at least you would probably have to do less fiddling. It’s easier for me to delete all measures to the end then it is to add measures or fiddle — so maybe this is a way around the issue in some cases. Saving a template is pretty easy. Take a score and copy it to the template directory. Start it out however you want. I’ve got different templates for different bands with the band name at the bottom (“Prepared for such and such”), my name in top right (“Copied By Me”) – [Title] at the top – and on the left the instrument score for that band. I set other defaults that I think carry through from the template too. Saves me a lot of time.
