Scrolling doesn’t work on iPad (intermittent) and Scrolling

Now I have 3 rows of content. I want to scroll up so I can see line 1. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, I’m stuck.

I know there’s very limited space in which to scroll the rows. If I touch the staves my press interacts directly with the staff. I don’t want to do this, I just want to scroll up.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that enables scrollbars? Or can I permanently enable them? Or how do I do this?

I know I’m posting a lot. I think this is a very cool app but I’ve always had problems with it. A few years ago when I was new, I wrote a whole song in it but I thought it saved automatically. It doesn’t. I lost the whole song and many hours of work when it crashed. I stayed away for about a year and a half, unwilling to trust it again. But now I’m back. And still things don’t seem to be working right. I’d like to be fluent in it with keyboard shortcuts but it’s a bit of a struggle right now.

BTW, why aren’t Sections covered in the User Guide? When I click Sections, I see the line that shows me the sections I currently have. But creating a section requires me to either write all the music for that new section first so I can see how long the Section will be before I create and name the section (because I have to select the measures first). I’d like creating sections to be more open-ended. So I’d like to keep that option but I’d also like to see a little + button at the end of my sections list above the staves. Then I can just click that to start a new section and name the section and then when I’ve written the section, I create another section at the end to close it off. (So the last section might be like Outro or something.) Or maybe sections just default to a standard length which we can then change. Hopefully all this makes sense.

I figure the app must work and I just don’t understand the workflow paradigm. Hopefully you can help. Thanks!

Hey Kevin, you can scroll on your iPad by using two fingers.

To create a more open section you can use the second option which will create a section that goes unto the either the end of the song or until the next section marker.

If you need to make an existing section longer you can select a measure and use one of those Insert buttons.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Yep, that will work. Thank you brother.
