Re: offset not working

[Hans de Rijck]

Kris and Mats,

thanks for your answers, I think I understand now.

Mats, is there a list somewhere of objects that can be overridden? In the
manual some (but I'm sure not all) are mentioned but only in examples. It
certainly would be helpfull to have such a list (eg. Staff.TimeSignature,
Score.skipBars, TextScript, Score.BarNumber).

thanks,

Hans.
