Enter Underlined Text Characters
 
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone know of a way to enter text in which some characters are underlined and others are not, like: G G g or 3 4 3? I'm using Notation Composure 2.6.3.

In French diatonic accordion tabulature, an underline indicates that the note occurs on the pull. The bass and chord are shown as letters whereas fingering or which button to use is shown as a number. I've not been able to discover an underline capability for Notation Composure's lyric or freely located text.

Hi,

There is currently no specific underline font option - I'll add that to the "to do" list, though.

As a workaround that may be acceptable, you can do the following:

1. For entry as a lyric (which will line up and stay with it's assigned note), you can enter the first note letter
2. Hit the "Enter" key (like you're entering a second verse) while still in that editing box, then type in two dashes. (disclaimer - the note names aren't correct - I was just typing letters :) )

When it's done it looks like this:

You can also do the same steps in Text/Free Text when entering text in the editing box, and the results look a little different (dashes in lyrics are treated as melismas, which are connected, rather than distinct dash marks as for the Free Text):

Hope this helps!
