Slurs, Phrase Marks

Hi Ralph,


Something else that I just noticed that could be a contributing factor is the angle of your monitor in respect to your head. In addition to my monster TV monitor I have a smaller and lower resolution wall mounted monitor. The wall mounted monitor got bumped and boy do things look weird with the angle just off by not too much. The red boxes looked like light orange until I readjusted the angle.


Just another thought drifting out there....

Hi Sherry,

I bought my current monitor in June of 2020 (Best Buy). I try to be very careful in getting the appropriate numbers, manual, etc. saved

, but that was 4 years ago and I'm not certain what was going on with my PD. The monitor is an LG 27" LED Monitor. I'll dig into it.

Thank you ever so much for spending so much research time on it.

2020 was the last time I made major changes in my H/W. I am using, but not positive , the manual at:

Hi Ralph,


Something to try - turn off the HDR. My LG TV monitor has that, too, and I found that my setup works much better with the HDR turned off.

Well, BLESS YOU, Sherry!!

It appears you have me on a closer track than where I was looking.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) on my LG appears to be the culprit that has been causing me so much grief over the past four years - I didn't even realize I had an adjustable problem - fortunately vision does not fail overnight.

Alright - enough sniveling from Grandpappy.

It did not occur to me that I should do a side-by-side comparison with my laptop. Duh!! The anchors are more legible (brighter) on the laptop.

So, I have a circumvention at least. Placing of slurs usually happens (for me) when basically, I have finished the scoring, so I can port my file to the laptop for the finishing touches - adding the slurs. This does not address my initially reported problem - a need to adjust setting on my LG monitor.

I am now digging into Settings for my Windows 11 Desktop, trying to find where I can safely make adjustments.

Hi Ralph,

I'm glad to help any way I can.
The glory of tech is that there are so many settings you can nuance.
The bane of tech is that there are so many settings that can screw things up

The HDR setting that I turned off much to my benefit is a Windows System Display setting:

I hope this does the trick for you.

Hi Sherry,

Thank you for your efforts. Unfortunately, my Windows 11 system presents a different path for HDR.

When I click on System > Display, the page that displays shows different content than your diagram. Under Brightness & color, I have a box that says, "HDR > More about HDR. More doesn't show me anything that I can use to make changes. I don't have multiple displays, so there are no choices. Instead, it shows me two supposed options: HDR Video streaming - not supported; and Use HDR - not supported. So I can't tweak these settings.

Hi Ralph,


Well that's a bummer, and I've shot my wad.
I'm thinking the best thing to do with it at this point is to just sit down with the computer on with a few different programs that you use up on the screen and go through the monitor's settings to see which ones may help (or not).


Crossing my fingers....
