I didn't know that you wanted to change all ledger lines to just one particular colour. The Layer instead of Group, in combination with disabling Edit All Layers, makes it easy to prevent other objects on the page from interfering with ad hoc selections of only some of the ledger lines.

Your ledger lines all appear to be black, so you can select them on that basis and put them into a Layer to make them easy to access by disabling Edit All Layers: select any one ledger line do Select > Select Same > Stroke Colour press cmd+G to group do Layer > Promote Group To Layer use button at bottom left corner of Layers panel to disable Edit All Layers There will be a few black vertical lines in addition to the ledger lines in the Layer, but you can move them out of the Layer. You'll find the document much easier to work with if you give it a structure with various Layers for the various features of the notation.

I'm able to marquee select a ledger line. If you tell us what you intend to do with them, there may be advice to help you succeed efficiently. (Although I'm switching off until tomorrow now )

Also, stretching or scaling an object messes up its transform origin (TO) - deselect then reselect the object to see the new wrong location of the TO.

Knife Tool refuses to slice through straight lines which have a fill (which won't be visible in the case of a straight line, of course). Your problematic lines have a redundant grey fill in addition to the grey stroke. Set their fill to none and then you'll have no trouble slicing through them.

In the absence of a hybrid tool, it would be very helpful if the Photo Mesh Warp live filter used the same meshes as the Designer Warp Group, and we could copy the mesh from one to the other.

Thanks for the addition. Surprised that Designer didn't get the same. Would be just as useful there.

The dot indicates the group contains at least one mask and no other type of object. You will see the same dot on a mask's thumbnail. The blank indicates the group contains at least one vector or raster object. It may also contain other types of objects. The Layers panel burger menu has an option for displaying a preview of the group's content in the thumbnail.

Not a bug. Affinity does only centred stroke on an open path. When you broke the path, it changed from closed to open, and so the stroke became centred.

Whether the result should be classed as a bug or not, I don't know, but I can explain what is happening. A live filter/adjustment operates on an on-the-fly rasterisation of whatever object it is applied to. That raster object covers the entire canvas, and its pixels are black with alpha of zero wherever the source object did not exist. If the filter/adjustment increases the alpha of those hidden black pixels, the pixels become visible to some degree, blending with the underlying scene, unless they are excluded by clipping by the object which is parent to the filter/adjustment.

+1 Yes, sorely missed functionality sometimes.

The Compound Mask operators aren't really Boolean although they effectively are Boolean when combining a pure "black" mask pixel with a pure "white" mask pixel. You might be more comfortable with the operators when you consider that they are really the equivalent of layer blending modes: Add == Add Subtract == Subtract Intersect == Darken Xor == Difference

Hi, sometimes it can be difficult to solve problems or give advice when there are only words describing the problem. Please attach an example Affinity document to reduce or eliminate ambiguities.

Now I see the anomalous value. If you had initially said Group instead of explicitly specifying three objects, that would have helped.

Yes. I get "0.1 mm" displayed.

I said no such thing. I wrote nothing about anything except the "bots" typo until you got confused about who wrote what and asked me about cmd-R and rulers.

Yes, View > Show Rulers has shortcut cmd-R by default on Mac.

Not happening to me. The field in the toolbar shows whatever I set. Sounds like you have insufficient decimal places specified in Preferences for display of the values you are using.

Of course a bug! Did I say or imply otherwise? [rhetorical question, in case that could be misinterpreted too] I was only giving a little insight into what is happening, not a justification for the change.

Obviously, that was a typo when "both" was intended.

OK, I did say the document is CMYK. However, I did not say the two shapes are "using the same base CMYK green". I said the back shape is a lighter green than the one darker green that is specified in all nodes of the gradient fill of the front shape.

The current V2 does a non-colour managed conversion from CMYK to RGB when a CMYK Pixel object is pasted in an RGB document. It's using the same simplistic formulas as the common online colour converters which do not consider colour profiles. V1 does a colour managed conversion which maintains colour appearance by taking into account the source and destination colour profiles.

There is a selector for the mode immediately above the sliders in the node colour editor. It's at arrow 4 in the click sequence shown below.

Thanks
