"slight Reverb", How do get rid of these? or are they important?

I have thrown out the EWQL choirs because I think this software is better, at least it doesn't lock my screen but it is very difficult to find answers. I have imported a .mid file in which a choir[SATB] sings the word No! several times, the notes are in the score. I started to try and hear what the sopranos would sound like and was too ambitious and now I am stuck in the Advanced part, I know i should not be playing here if I don't know how it works but,soit. i keep getting the message that the action has already taken place and to click on OK. Apparently this does not allow me to use the try option again. I thought I will return to the beginning after saving this but OK just brings up the same dialog, must I click on Cancel?
Day 2: Got lyrics in, the song starts with 6 empty bars,when I press the space bar the play line just repeats those empty bars,how do I get it to play past the first 6 empty bars?
i have watched some tutorial videos but found nothing to indicate what must be done to resolve this start playback. If I do something that limits the exported file from playing the first 6 empty bars it will be hard to import to Logic pro. If I place a start here bar line at bar 7,what will be in the exported file?
later, I have imported another .mid file and all looks right except there is[on every new score] a small image and in this score after the image is written "slight Reverb" How do I get rid of these? Or are they important?
is there a chance anyone will reply to this? Shall I just directly ask Tech help?

If you want to ask a new question, it's best to create a new message either in the same thread or in a new thread. People may not notice changes to a message they've already read.
As for the 'Slight Reverb' objects, I think you can just select them and delete them.

Thanks very much Steve, I wasn't sure if the forum was still in use. I have had such terrible problems with EW Symphonic Choirs that I trashed it all and decided that HA ans VS were better for me, at least in these the language is there and there is no need to learn a new phonetic one. Plus the EW product never worked in Mac OS 10.6,it locked the screen every time I opened a Logic pro song with Play in it. By locked I mean the mouse could move the cursor around but nothing responded, making me use a hard force quit, which hasn't done my old iMac any good.
I like that HA and VS can give me both soloists and choir that sing text, it is difficult to figure out from the Tutorials and Manual but if some others like you would chime in I will be off the forum and working.You say select and delete,many terms used in HA are different than other DAWs, I suppose partially because it has to be translated into English for americans like me. I live in Amsterdam since 1976 and speak Dutch and some german but despite working for ten years for William Christie as baroque Bassoonist in Les Arts Florissants I never picked up much of the language, all rehearsals were in english. which tool do I use to select?
I will be bold and ask one more question. I hope you don't mind,but those 6 empty bars at the beginning keep repeating how do I tell HA to pass through the first empty bars and play the choir parts I have entered? Don't fear insulting me, I am now a dutchman,how often may I ask you a question about HA and VS? One more:I have entered the lyrics to the soprano line of a 4 part chrus, is there a way to apply the same text to the other 3 parts? the rhythms are all the same.

Hello David!
Could you please attach your HA file to the next answer so that we can have a look at it?
Attached files MUST NOT contain other characters than [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], "-", "_" and ".", in particular NO SPACE is allowed.

Greetings,
On HA you can start playing the music where ever you want. At the top of your screen there is a tab that says score. If you click on it you can select/deselect page mode. If the Page mode is seleted you can slide down to Page mode set up and slide over and click on Display Control Handles. If this is engaged you should see a "ruler" at the top of the score. Each "section" of the ruler corresponds to a measure on the score. Right click on the ruler and set/reset play mark where you want the music to start. Hope this helps !

I have a MIDI-imported file that has Voice Reverb at the beginning of each stave, so I'll assume your 'Slight Reverb' is something similar. First of all, I always switch out of Page Mode when I edit (Score > Page Mode unticked). Then, if I hover over the Voice Reverb marking, a rectangular frame (dashed line) appears around the object: just clicking the mouse turns this into a solid purple line, and then I just use the Delete key on the keyboard to delete it.
For your playback problem, you'd probably do best to attach your .myr file to a message on here and then people may be able to see what you are talking about. My first thought is that there might be a double bar line at the point where it stops playing.

Thank you JP, I very much appreciate your help but I cannot say for certain that there is NO space in the file. Do you still want to see it?

I meant "no space in the file name", sorry.
Yes please, send it so we can have a look at it.

It's not a question of wanting or not - it simply won't attach if the file name has a space or other 'special character' in it (it's a limitation of the forum software). If it does, simply rename it before you attach it, e.g. change "Beautiful Dreamer.myr" to "BeautifulDreamer.myr".

Thanks very much dheo, if I do that will the exported files still have the six empty bars in them? It is important because I plan on using this in a Logic Pro project and the full Orchestra must first play before the choir sings, and lining up audio in Logic can get tricky if the region doesn't start at the first bar.

Probably, that's what we need to see before giving an advice.

Thanks Steve, JP asked me to upload the score too but not if it contains any spaces, and I am not 100% certain it doesn't, but I might as well try it since so many friendly people have shown up to offer help, for which I am eternally grateful. Now to find the file, found it!

OK
I got your file, which is full of empty bars, which does not help a lot for listening. There is no option in HA to tell it to skip empty bars, so even if you start at bar 7, you will have 7 empty bars (bar 11 - 17), and so on.
As far as the reverb is concerned, delete the small "landscape" pictures at the beginning of the file. I don't know why, but it seems to suppress the reverb effect.

The file plays fine for me - it plays six silent bars, then continues with bar 7 (minim rest followed by the word 'No' on Eb and G).

To delete the images, select the ERASER or use the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
The cursor becomes a "flash-light"
Click on the image
