Bob:
Hello! I tried to reproduce the situation you described, but was not
able to reproduce any kind of buggy-looking symptoms. However, it is possible
that I still am not quite sure exactly what you mean. So, if this message
doesn't help you, please try explaining the situation to me again in greater
detail…
In any case, the following may be a source of confusion to the
determined section-builder:
If you create a section too large to fit in the Section window,
scrolling through it a page at a time may or may not include some of the
section contained in the previous page, depending on its length. Here's an
example:
Let's say that you leave the section resolution at its default zoom-in
value and create a section 8 measures long. Only about 6.25 measures are
displayed in the Section window at a time. Scrolling the section right 1 page
displays the remainder of the section, but measures 3 through 7 are still in
full view. So, even though you have "scrolled 1 page to the right," there
isn't a whole page there to view. Consequently, SuperJAM! doesn't begin the
section view with measure 7. Instead, it just bumps the display to section 3,
so you can see the rest of it.
I hope I haven't utterly confused you… If I am completely off-base
as to what it is you were trying to explain, let me know.
