Hello!

I´m planning to do some screencapturing from Leadsheet-window in Fakesheet mode for sightreading practice.
(I use fakesheet mode because I don´t want any visual lead-in bar)

The "song" is one chorus without any repeats. And when the "song" is going to end I want the sheet to stay at the last bar. And it does. However at the very last bar it shortly shows the beginning of the song and then returns to the last bar. Here is a video. The "problem" occurs at 01:34

Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum.

Is Loop off?

There is a viewing look-ahead setting in Preferences. Not sure where from memory; I'll look later. Perhaps reducing the amount or turning it off will give us a better clue if this is a bug.

Thank you! :-)

I´ve done some "research", but no luck in Fake sheet mode regarding my little "problem"

Here is an example when I do the same thing in Lead sheet window (Fake sheet mood unchecked):

I also plan to do the screen-capture from this window (Fake sheet mood unchecked), but then I´ve got the lead-in bar visable/shown. The good thing is the highlighted(red) notes. For beginners I think that will be very helpful. I believe it´s not possible to get highlighted notes in fake mood. So far I haven´t figured it out.

You're killing me with these long videos of whole notes (but I skip to the end).

Yes, try Preferences, Notation, and look about a third of the way down on the left for Scroll Ahead. Set that to None and report back.

It´s alot of whole notes :-)

Now I´ve tried that and when Scroll Ahead set to None the Fake Sheet ending is ok. After playing one chorus the sheet stops at the last bar without any "problems" earliar described.

My wish is to have the end like this and still have the scroll ahead (2 bars).

Sorry to say... but I guess I´m not a relialbe source right now because I´m switching from Build (437) and Build (429). So I tried your suggestion on Build 429. :-/

Thanks for reporting back.

I'm going to pass this along to the developers. I use the 2-bar lookahead and agree it could be improved at the ending.

Also please consider my comment in your other thread about what I think 'beta' means.

Melodicamaster,

From what I understand, Fakesheet Mode was essentially designed to work in conjunction with 'Fakesheet mode' on the main 'Chord Sheet' view.



This, in turn, is a function of repeats and 1st/2nd endings.

Because of the above, it might be that Fakesheet Mode in the Leadsheet is limited with what it can accomplish if you haven't used 1st/2nd endings, etc.

Regards,
Noel
