Title prints duplicate and upside down

[Angel Candelaria]

Main problem: Title prints duplicated and upside down, usually to the right of the title of the work.

I've been having this problem since Ubuntu Lucid, and it persists on Precise, which I use now. The work-around is making a pdf version of the work and printing from that one. On the pdf file the title appears correctly - no duplicates. But it is kind of inconvenient.
I've used MuseScore on other Linux distributions (for example, Arch) and they do not have this printing issue. Seems like an Ubuntu-specific bug to me. I'm using the latest MuseScore 1.2 package, available from the stable ppa.

Someone else also posted about this problem on MuseScore forums. See here:

I'm attaching a scan of the top of a printout of a chart so you can see the problem.

Marking Low (because it has a workaround)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Out of curiosity -- does this still affect you if you use version 1.3 (available in Ubuntu 14.04)?

Hi Toby.

Problem still persists on MuseScore 1.3 from Ubuntu's repositories. I'm using Lubuntu 14.04.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

Strange. Since I don't think we'll see another 1.x release before 2.0, I guess we'll have to wait till then -- though Robert's comment does make me think it's an Ubuntu problem..

I too believe it's an Ubuntu proplem. I remember testing this out on Arch Linux and it prints out correctly.

Anyway, thanks for looking into this. I it is fixed on the next release (hopefully 2.0).

[Angel Candelaria (angelsguitar)]

I mean, I **hope** it is fixed on the next release (hopefully 2.0).

I don't have a printer, so I cannot test, but have you noticed this behaviour when printing from other non-KDE applications using the Qt4 toolkit? MuseScore 1.2 / 1.3 uses Qt4, whereas MuseScore 2.0 will use Qt5, so it could be something there.
