I sing in a choir. For individual practice, I enter our music into Noteworthy Composer and distribute it to the choir members for use in the viewer. We are presently working on a work in French. I would like to enter on a second line of lyrics, a pronunciation guide using the International Phonetic Alphabet. I found a true type font for the IPA. I used MS Word to enter the pronunciation guide. In Noteworthy Composer, I assigned the appropriate Font to the Staff Lyric. I then pasted the text from the Word document into the Lyrics word processor. When the text is first put into the Lyrics, all the symbols appear. When I hit OK to enter the Lyrics into the music, most of the symbols are represented by "?". In other words, the symbols have been lost.
I just installed Version 2.5.4. I have found if I enter a note with a slur, the slur does not turn off for the following notes. This is different from previous versions in which I had to turn on the slur for each note. Is this a bug in 2.5.4 or is there a way to make the program work similar to previous versions?
I am notating a choral work. A second section of the work changes the time signature from 4/4 to 3/4. I want to add a notation above the top system showing the equivalent notes -- whole note = dotted half note -- using the actual note symbols. I would appreciate any suggestions or help.
