Using Musical Symbol Fonts
Musical symbol fonts do not contain letters. They only contain musical symbols (such
as special percussion symbols). You can use text objects (set to a musical symbol font)
to freely create, and position, musical symbols anywhere in the score.
Learning About Text Styles
All text elements refer to user-definable format settings called text styles. A text style
contains all text attributes, such as font, size, and style, which saves you the time and
effort of manually setting them whenever you insert a new text object.
About the Text Styles Window
All text styles used in a project are listed in the Text Styles window. This window allows
you to edit existing text styles, or create new ones.
To open the Text Styles window, do one of the following:
m Choose Text > Text Styles in the Score Editor.
The first twelve lines contain the default text styles, which exist in every project (but
can be edited, according to your needs). Below these, you will find user-created text
styles. User text styles are saved with the project file, allowing them to be different for
each project.
Each line shows the name, and an example, of the text style. Double-clicking the
Example line opens the Font window, allowing you to edit both the default and user
text styles. Any fonts installed on your system can be used.
