Moving bars In score

Anyone else having problems moving bars downward in the score window. It seems they only go up even when you grab and pull them down. I've set the max limit in score preferences. Perhaps just another score bugger in 8.01.

Hello Pianoman,
I read your problem. If you use the lay out tool their should be no problem moving bars downwards. But there are many bugs in the score set window.
Do you know why the scale function does not apear when you open it for the second time?? Or why you can't divide the brackets in the score after 28 tracks?
Can you help me with that?

Stuck on moving bar and black screen?

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 Series. Windows Vista. My laptop was working perfectly fine last night and when I woke up this morning, I turned it on and it was stuck on the Windows Corporation where the green bar is moving from left to right. I tried doing pressing F8 for safe mode and it went pass through the moving bar but then the screen turned black and all I can move is the cursor. I left it there for good hours just to see if it'll work but it stayed like that. I also tried start up repair and it said if the start up repair fixed the problem, windows should start normally. Then I clicked finish, but it still did the same, still stuck on the moving bar. It showed me a code 0x0 after the start up repair if that will help?
Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Making a moving bar

I'd like to make a box move back and forth in a bar. I know this sounds vague, but I'll try to draw a picture:
|                   [ ]                 |Now, I want that [ ] to move back and forth a varying speeds as I want to make a game where you have to try to press a button as it is in a specific area, kind of like this:
|        [ ]   |    here    |           |So when the box passes through that area and the player presses a button, they will get a point. Now, my question is, how do I go about to making that? As of now, my idea is very inefficient but I'll explain it anyways.
I'll make several images of this bar and box with the box in a different position each time. Then I'll make a loop with a timer and it'll go through to make the box go one way, switch to another loop and make it go the other way. When the player presses a button, it'll record what number the loop is at (like a for loop for example, and the counter) to determine if it's in the area or not. As the player consecutively hits the area, the timer's increments will be changed.
Now, I assume there's a easier way, but I could be wrong. If there's another way to do this, could someone just explain how to do it? Thank you very much in advanced.

Moving Bars and Camera

I've been a graphic designer for years, but I'm just getting into motion graphics. I want to make a short video bumber with multiple bars moving through 3D space, very similar to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOa2iylnHtA
I have read the now archived post with a similar question (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2548415&tstart=225) but didn't really get anything from it.
How would I go about doing this?

Your best option is to make several lines. One for each leg of the animation. Lines and Paint Strokes are 2D elements which means they only have X and Y position for their control points.
I've done a design very close to this and that's how it was accomplished. You can create one line, adjust it's anchor point to one end and then duplicate it and arrange it in 3D space so that it appears to be on solid line. The animation can be achieved with a Shape/Write On behavior for each line. The camera animation can be done with a Move, Motion Path behavior or just keyframes if you prefer.

Making an 8 beat note over 2 bars in score editor

Hello eveyrone,
Anybody know how to make an 8 beat note over two bars. like two whole notes in a 4/4 song over two bars that are tied.

Just to add:
Most instruments can only manage a slur between notes of different pitches... on a brass instrument it's using a different valve fingering with out tonguing the note but there's still a slight bump with the new fingering. The exception of course is the trombone, because of a slide that can actually glissando between notes. Valve instruments can bend and half-valve notes but that a special technique. A piano or organ can't do what you describe... orchestral string instruments (as well as fretless electric bass) can but that's a function of the instrument and is usually written as a slur with bowing instructions.
It's never written as different pitches tied.

Extra bars in score set -- looks like a bug

I've been working on some tunes and wanted to display both the bass track and the track with lyrics. Logic Pro 8 seems to have some trouble with this. A bug seems to add additional portions of a bar. Check out this screen shot and note the extra bar 21. If I look at individual tracks, it is fine. If I change windows and go back, it seems to refresh the screen correctly. This problem creates a big problem when I'm trying to play along.
Screen shot:
http://www.punkjob.com/ScoreSet.jpg

you'd be far better off displaying this in a seperate editor the 'old' way, if you ask me. incidentally is this a LP7 song or freshly minted in 8?
nice bug BTW.

Moving bars to conceal/reveal text - how?

Hello
Using Flash Prof 8...Couple of major things that I have no
idea how to do...if you go to
http://www.enhancedwireless.net/Technology/keyMechtest.shtml
and press play on the "ODMA" demo graphic (it's a work in
progress not complete), you'll see the vise-like bars closing and
shutting - I need for the text to be hidden then revealed as the
bars move across the text...how do I do this? I'm newish to Flash
so as detailed (code whatever) as you could be, would be
appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance for your time.
And if you let the whole clip play to end (under :50) it
jumps back to the beginning, which I want, but you'll notice that
the "play_mc" button pops up then immediately disappears...I need
it to stay on as at the beginning.
On the last frame (actions layer) of my main mc called
keyMech_mc is this code:
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
_root.play_mc._alpha = 100;
My play button which is actually a movie clip, play_mc, has
various alpha code for it on my main timeline on actions layer
first frame as follows:
_root.KeyMech_mc.stop();
play_mc.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndStop("over");
play_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndStop("out");
play_mc.onRelease = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
so = this;
rate = 5; // choose number between 1 and 100
newAlpha = so._alpha - rate; // subtract rate from current
visibility
if(newAlpha > 0) { // continue fade
so._alpha = newAlpha; // set newVolume to decrease visibility
}else if(newAlpha == 0){
so._alpha = 0;
===========
Just wanted you to have all the info possible re: this
play_mc so I can get it to stay back up at the end of the movie...
And I'm really stumped as to how to do the revealing bars
thing.
Thanks for any help!

OK got the bars to work, courtesy a good suggestion from some
one (just put a white rectangle behind the lines) - but what about
this play button reappearing?

Why is there a mysterious moving bar ?

I have a 5th gen iTouch. After a sync to nite, I went to listen to a podcast. There is now a blue box scrolling down row by row. It does not matter if on the home screen, a folder or in my settings. It's like the device has a mind of its own. It does not affect the functionality of the device.
I tried a reboot and full off , but it's not going away.
this has not yet affected my iPad which is running the same IOS : 7.1.2

it was already set for "off"
i did play with "guided access" it was activated, now it's not.
so far the scrolling box is gone.

LE7:Score Layout:Global Format:Maximum Bars per Line - Line Break Bug!

Hello
This problem occurs in Logic Express version 7.
(I am using MacOS version 10.4.2 on an eMac)
I am currently compiling and editing a large score for a big band composition consisting of 22 parts:
Flute 1
Flute 2
Clarinet 1
Clarinet 2
Alto Sax 1
Alto Sax 2
Tenor Sax 1
Tenor Sax 2
Baritone Sax
Trombone 1
Trombone 2
Trombone 3
Trombone 4
Trumpet 1
Trumpet 2
Trumpet 3
Trumpet 4
Guitar
Keyboard
Electric Bass
Percussion 1 (Kit)
Percussion 2 (Aux)
I am creating the score in a separate file, and I am combining parts into 1 stave each by instrument like this:
Flute 1 & 2
Clarinet 1 & 2
Alto Sax 1 & 2
Tenor Sax 1 & 2
Baritone Sax
Trombone 1 - 4
Trumpet 1 - 4
Guitar
Keyboard (2 staves)
Bass
Percussion
Each instrument, with the exception of keyboard which has 2 staves, consists of one stave, making up systems of twelve staves each. By sizing down each score style to 2,
I have managed to fit 2 systems onto each page, therefore significantly reducing the amount of paper needed.
The problem comes when organising the layout of my score,
in particular, the line breaks. Using layout:global format, I have limited the maximum number of bars per line to 8, both in the page edit and normal score mode.
I am trying to divide up my score so that there are 8 bars per system. Using the white arrow tool, I am dragging bars up and down in order to achieve this.
However, when I get 30 odd bars in, I discover a system with 12 bars crammed into it - and even printing it off, it is clear that the system could benefit with less bars; the notation is squashed up together and not very easy to read.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
So I tried using the white arrow to move the last 4 bars down onto the next system, and a bug occurs where I end up with about 20 bars on the system, oddly distorted, the first few bars of which are squashed up together at the beginning of the line, and the last bar of which is stretched far off the right hand side of the page out of view. Then the next 20 or so bars are no where to be seen (probably far off the right hand side of the page) before the system below.
If you dont know what I am talking about, I could provide a screenshot if you request.
I have tried everything to get 8 bars on that particular system; dragging the stretched bar downwards, dragging squashed bars downward, moving bars down 1 by 1, moving bars onto the system above, moving bars away from the system below (to make room for the 4 bars that I want to move from above), adding more bars and dragging them down, but none of these methods have worked. I am either stuck with 12 bars crammed onto one system and 4 bars on the next or an oddly distorted version of the system which cannot possibly be read. Even when I settle with the unsatistactory former, I encounter further problems on subsequent systems below, some systems of which are already distorted.
All I want is to have 8 bars per system, it should not be too much to ask! The layout:global format:maximum-bars-per-line calculation seems to be redundant, even when I reset the default line breaks - it just does not automatically set 8 bars per line, which it should do. Is there not an option to determine bars individually by number onto their respective lines, without having to use the white arrow graphic layout tool?
The problem is extremely frustrating, and it is preventing me from completing, presenting and handing in a score for my university music composition.
I have no other score producing software, and starting it
from scratch on paper is going to take me weeks, because it consists of 830 12/8 bars in 22 parts, and I need to get it ready by next term!
Any help would be extremely helpful and much appreciated, especially a patch or a useful way round. It could be related to memory, or hard drive space, as I have experienced similar problems in the past, where my score has been stretched off the page during a time when I have had little disk space...and this is a very large piece of music which might stretch the score capabilities of Logic.
If so, has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks!

nope just cutting should work.
here are some things to try:
1. try assigning a different score style. for the regions. duplicate and then adjust the default ones if necessary.
2. try creating a new instrument set. in fact delete them and make a new one (use the key command: create instrument set from selected)
3. it may be a formatting problem so check:
in global layout constant spacing (try 8 or 9) and proportional spacing (try 45 or so). then try factory defaults.
4. try copying and pasting the midi into a brand new region and looking at the score for that.
5. try fiddling with the layout tool drqagging bars up or down.
normally simply cutting the region of just one object is enough to force a redraw. maybe try it on all of the regions. what happens when you double click on a region?

I keep getting window up saying urgent update recommending download, but when i do try, all i get is a blue and white bar moving . i have left it run for hours and nothing happens. what is it?

i downloaded new FF 2 weeks ago. Since then i keep getting update window coming up every day highly recommending i update but when i try, nothing happens except blue/white moving bar at top of window. i have left it run for hours and no progress, so i close it. The next time I open FF, it appears again and again same happens.
If there is an urgent update, how urgent is it if I cannot download it.It's worries me that i can,t load it and how it might affect my security.

It would be a great idea to uninstall Norton - you don't need it and it has a pretty poor reputation for mucking up otherwise healthy Macs.
Have a look at this User Tip from klaus1: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
To uninstall Norton:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Edit: To see whether you actually have Norton installed launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. If it's installed you'll likely see some Norton entries there.
Also, in System Preferences>Users & Groups or Accounts, depending on OS)>Login Items, it might be listed.

No startup status bar anymore?

Has anyone encountered the lack of the loading bar for leopard? i remember in tiger, after the inital grey apple, another box would appear saying os x was loading with a moving bar.
now in leopard it's gone missing?

I noticed this wasnt there anymore also. I guess its not a big deal though but it did kinda make me think it was loading quicker when i saw the bar shoot across in Tiger :oD
It may be that only slower machines see it. Hopefully anyway. Personally i would rather see a slow moving status bar than a blank screen but then i do tend to like to know whats going on.

Moving panes from 4.0 and Old Themes does not move/motion on burned DVD

I have iDVD 5.0.1 (626) and am in the process of creating DVD menus. iDVD 5 gives you the option of using menu Themes from *5.0, 4.0* and *Old Themes*. I have noticed that the sliding pane feature found in Montage in 4.0 and +Moving Bars+ in *Old Themes* function properly when creating the menus (and you click on "Motion"). But after the DVD has burned (both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs), the moving panes are not moving.
Why no motion?
Message was edited by: pacobell73

It's possible in that version of iDVD that there's no motion unless you click the motion button before you burn the disc (looks like a man walking; button turns green when clicked).

Progress bar according to databases status?

Helo frens........
i need to display progress bar according to database status i.e. as one programm is taking data (mobile no ) and sending msg to that mobile no how to display it

Helo frens........
i need to display progress bar according to database
status i.e. as one programm is taking data (mobile no
) and sending msg to that mobile no how to display itI don't know of a way to estimate how much of your query job is done, nor do I know of a database tool that is sufficiently accurate to allow a percentabe type of update progress to be shown, but you could make a moving bar that resets when it hits the end--make it fairly rapidly moving to not confuse anyone looking at it--so they don't think it is an actual one time through and your are done progress type.
The progress bar needs to run in a seperate thread then and when your process returns from it's call, then you shut down your progress bar.

Why is there a blue bar on my iPhone 6 plus

hhow do I get rid of that silly blue moving bar on my iPhone 6 plus.

To make sure that this is not software related, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If this does not work, set it back to factory settings, without using a backup, explained here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still no luck, you'll have to get it serviced, could be hardware related after all that you have tried above.

... have tried everything to restart my ipod touch. stuck on that screen with the apple logo

My Ipod Touch suddenly stopped working. It hadtrouble starting up – then suddenly turned on after a few minutes of pushingthe start button. The next time I turned it off, it never started back up. Symptoms:
It is stuck on the apple logo screen (with thecircle of moving bars – as if it is waiting or doing something) and never moveson from this.
When I plug it in and try to restore it:
Whensyncing with my back-up, I get the error: ITunes could not restore it becausean error occurred
WhenI set up a new Ipod, everything downloads. (apps, music etc)
It looks like it is fixed, butwhen I unplug it and try to get it to work, it is still stuck in the apple logoscreen – same as above.
I have also updated all of the software. Still - no go!
When it is plugged in to mycomputer, I am able to play music and see the items in the ipod. Through this,I have even updated my software. This all works .. but that screen with theapple logo does not go away and I just cannot access it manually through the touchscreen or ipod buttons.
Who can help me?

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
