This should be Issue 11.

Btw, good work collecting all these into a single thread.

EDIT:
With the current views (continuous, non-continuous) this would be possible only in the continuous view.

[tohubohu]

ISSUE 11 is the most important to fix for the workflow in the score editor.

This is a great list. I noticed some of these bugs while prepping some music sheets for a soloist inside Reaper. Devs should take note of this thread.

thank you for your message
If you have encountered other bugs than those listed, feel free to file a bug report and I will add it to the list afterwards. (if you do, please don't post a new bug in this thread but in a separate thread )

[bFooz]

Bump, especially 11.

[tohubohu]

hello devs,
you should really think about improving navigation in the score editor (zoom, scroll) because I still have two people I know who refuse to use reaper because they can't move around in the score editor. If you are not a little good at using a computer, the score editor is impractical.
it is becoming urgent

Yes, that is the most important one to me as well.

[tohubohu]

I personally think, but this is my opinion, that Issue 11 and issues 30 and 29 are the most important.
It's a little violent what I'm going to say and please excuse me in advance, but for me, this score editor (unknown but nevertheless fantastic) has for the moment little future.

Indeed, we have no possibility of writing the rhythms correctly (in good music theory) from two or three instruments (two or three staves). However, there are possible workarounds for a single staff or possibly two piano staves.

And it's currently impossible to move comfortably and smoothly with the zoom as it is.

And it's really a shame!!! Because this editor has great potential.

True. It is a cross between midi editor and standard notation editor, which is a great way of working, especially because of the grid.

The other advantage is that it is scriptable.

[krahosk]

I too see the potential of Reaper's Notation editor as great and unique but I am drawn away from it because of the very bugs persisting in the long term that are reported in this summary.

[tohubohu]

unfortunately, I think that many of you are in this case...

[krahosk]

Still I always come back to Reaper's notation editor because of its piano roll like/MIDI approach and features!

Concerning issue 11 and issue 30, I put the little tricks in the comments at the bottom, to get out of it even if it's not easy.

[bFooz]

Bump.
