Hi,

Using a Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 and MobileSheets ver. 3.9.41 I have an constant but detail-changing problems with annotations on layers.

I've got one 3-page score in MobileSheets.

I've added 6 layers, but the following problems started with layer 2 and continues with the various layers added later.

Start a new MobileSheets session, open the only song/piece in MobileSheets, and then click on a layer to select it and make it visible.  After this point, the problems are not always the same BUT they are some variation of the below--MobileSheets annotations has never functioned "properly" for a complete session (it feels like 10-12 sessions have gone this way).

Example Session 1

I click on layer "Red Yellow Green" with highlighting and click it visible with no other layers visible.  There is highlighting marked on all 3 pages, but page 2 shows no highlighting BUT there's a "Highlight 1" sub-item on the page--if I click on checkbox for that "Highlight 1" sub-item a blue-dotted selection box around what would be the highlighting but with no highlighting showing.

Example Session 2

With a new MobileSheets session, open the only song/piece in MobileSheets.

Selecting layer "Fingering Pedaling" layer with pen annotations and making it visible with no other visible layers, then clicking through the 3 pages shows the highlighting from layer "Red Yellow Green" still visible on page 2 while "Red Yellow Green" continues NOT supposedly being visible.  Clicking forward and backward through the pages continues to show the page 2 highlighting from layer "Red Yellow Green" with the visible.

I've tried test variations of the problem with the layers and sometimes a similar but different problem will happen.

I do have Settings > Draw highlights behind content checked, but when it isn't checked I can't read what's under the highlighting.

Thanks.

Hi Jeff, 

I have had a problem similar to yours when I have the 'Draw highlights behind content' box checked, but it seems to work ok when this box is not checked. 

It sounds like your highlighting is set to 100% opacity. Click on the triangle in the bottom right corner of the highlighter button and experiment with setting the opacity to a much lower level. I find that 30% works well for me. This enables to use the highlighter over the content and still be able to read it. 

I hope that helps, 
Bee

I may need to get you to export some of those songs to .msf so I can test them to see what you are describing. Please note that if you don't select the icon in the layer window to link visibility changes between layers, turning off the visibility of a layer on page 1 doesn't affect the visibility of that layer on page 2.

Bee, you are correct!

When I clicked off "Draw highlights behind content" AND set the highlighter opacity to 30% (previously at 100%), the highlighting worked as it should:
1) it didn't appear when the layer containing it was made invisible
2) it did appear on all pages when the layer was made visible.

Thanks so much!!

Mike,

Bee has solved the problem so I think, as best as I known, the issue is resolved but thank you for being willing to look into it further.

Cheers!
