As the title says: is it possible to do this? I want three "small" crotchets (organ introduction) prior to a chant. I've searched in the forum and the help files but cannot find anything.
Any help gratefully received
Paul
You must insert each of them separately as text.
In the text dialog box select "Staff cue symbols".
N.B. Remember to check "Placement->Preseve width".
While it's a long way from perfect, I usually do cues as diamond notheads and shorten any stems these days - I STILL want proper cues, but this works well enough for the moment.
This raises an interesting question (well, interesting to me at least): since I rarely (i.e. never) use diamond noteheads, I wonder if it would be possible to create my own copy of the Noteworthy font, substituting small cue noteheads for the diamond ones, and inserting diamond noteheads in my score, thus "tricking" NWC into rendering cue notes.
I don't currently have the font editing tools to let me try this, but I'd probably give it a shot if I thought this was feasible.
Thanks,
Mike
Thank you for your responses.
I have tried doing the text cues, but in the output it just comes out as three blobs very close together (and no stems) :-(
I don't want to put diamond note heads in.
Hmmm. More thinking!

Nicely done, Rick. Just today I used grace notes spaced with hidden rests, but your method is much better.
Thanks Rick
I've played about with it and got the right notes in the right place!
