Mixing Music Symbols and Normal Text |
In a single free text object, you can mix ordinary text and music symbols, such as the following tempo mark: To create a mixed free text object:
-- OR -- Type SHIFT+F.
Composer will display a blinking text cursor.
-- OR -- Type SHIFT+Enter. Composer will display the Enter Mix of Ordinary Text and Symbols dialog: The "Displayed as" portion of the dialog box shows what the mixed text looks like as you type in the ordinary text and add music symbols. The mixed text might be shown in a larger font size than what will actually be used in the score so that you can clearly see what you are entering.
To edit a free text object:
-- OR -- Type SHIFT+ENTER. Composer will present the Enter Mix of Ordinary Text and Symbols dialog box, as illustrated above.
To remove a music symbol, delete all four characters of the symbol's font character number. For example, to delete the quarter note symbol in the above example, delete the characters "\213". To insert a music symbol, click the mouse at the text position, in the "Enter free text" area, where you wish to insert the symbol. Then click the symbol in the list in the bottom area of the dialog box. |
