I always leave the songs/pdfs as is. Create New Song, select PDF and Audio, fill in the fields, and that's it.
Never use the import function.

I manage all my scores outside of MS and have the MS data folder pointed to a parent directory. After having imported a (new) score once all subsequent changes I do outside of MS are visible in MS without any further intervention on my part.

All annotations drawn into the scores are left in place. Therefor when the page layout changes which happens from time to time when I'm working on the lilypond sources of a score, I have to erase the old ones and redo them which seems to be the only intervention occasionally required.

While trying to reproduce a problem with initialization of MS I now have a PDF in MS for which only the first 3 pages are shown while it definitely has 5 pages. The path shown by MS points to the correct file which outside of MS is shown correctly. An earlier Version of the file had indeed 3 pages.

Rebooting the machine did not change anything, touching the PDF (to change the timestamp) did not help either.

Anything I can do to help track down this problem?

I'm using MS 1.9.5 on Win10 Pro and have not yet installed Win10 Creators Update.

I'd assume I could remove the file from MS, then reimport and expect it to show all 5 pages then, but then the current error state would have gone as well.

FWIW I just edited the MS SQlite DB. In table Files column PageOrder there was 1-3 which I changed to 1-5. After that MS displayed all 5 pages. After restoring the value to 1-3 it was displaying 3 pages again. The filesize showed the correct value.

Could it be that the logic that is updating Files.PageOrder in special situations does not correctly determine the right pagecount?

Kind regards,
Michael
