Title: Playback stops
Post by nadjaline on Oct 17th, 2018, 7:48pm
Hi I have an issue with the program. When playing back, on many of my pdfs, it just stops somewhere randomly during playback. I can't get it to work. Please help.

What could we do if you don't attach a sample pdf with the problem?

Hi sorry I thought I did attach a file. My bad. Here's a PDF that doesn't work.

I've just downloaded the file and tried it with PDFTM. It does translate well from .pdf to .myr formats. As for the playing, the music stops right in the middle (at the first Coda sign, to be precise). So, I exported it and edited the score in Harmony Assistant. There is something wrong with the bars to be played : it plays for bar #1 to bar #38. The program got lost because of the breaks.
To get it to play correctly in HA, you only need to edit the breaks and enter the list of bars to be played in the table, at the bottom of the edit window.
So...
In PDFTM, the best thing to do seems to be this :
1- read and interpret the .pdf
2- Check the breaks to determine how the score must be played.
3- In the "performance menu", click on the "Force played measures" line and change the numbers (e.g. 1-57,25-40,61-77,25-40)
I must admit that with so many and interlaced breaks it's a bit difficult for the program to find its way...
<Edit>As the score seems to be copyrighted, I've errased it fro my computer.</Edit>
