In the situation where a batter hits with a runner on base, and then both runners advance on a error, I can't see how to correctly score the play with iScore. If I try to faithfully record the play as it happened then I end up with two errors recorded.
The sequence I use is this:
1) select In Play
2) select Single (or double, hit result doesn't matter)
3) record hit location and type
4) advance base runner on the hit and/or error
At this point iScore thinks the play has ended however it hasn't as the batter runner advances on the error.
5) select the base with the batter runner on it
6) select the new base and Error as the reason
Now all of the runners are recorded in their correct positions but there have been two errors recorded instead of just the one. Is this an iScore bug, or is there another way to record this play?

Re: single followed by error recorded as two errors
If you go to the Game Settings screen (button in bottom right of the scoring screen) and set the "Minimize Questions" setting to No, you will be asked what happened to the Batter at the end of each play after they reach first base. This is done for the exact reason you are describing here. We used to always ask at the end of every play, but users complained about not wanting to have to press "Held Up" at the end of every play, so we changed it to be an option.
