I'm placing the symbols in a musical key signature on a musical staff. This part is successful. All the symbols are successfully placed individually using scene->addItem(mySigItem); mySigItem->setPos(tx,ty);
But I'd like the first symbol to be the parent item and the rest of the symbols be child items so that the key signature can be moved as a single piece. When I change the lines to mySigItem2->setParentItem(mySigItem1) then the position of the second item is FAR to the right and down the screen. I have tried setting the flag ItemIgnoresTransformations, mapTo/FromScene, mapFrom/ToParent, etc. and everything else I can think of or find in the docs. The coordinates work individually placed but simply setting the item as a child breaks them and they wander off.
Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
