I have reduced a lower orchestral staff to one leger line, for a drum accompaniment. Unfortunately the line ends up slightly higher than the bottom of the bracket. Is there a way round this? Thanks.
I need to underline a few of the words and characters in a vocal line.
I tried selecting the word in the lyrics editor and pressing Ctrl + u to no avail. I thought of adding a second lyric line with Alt + 0151 's under the to-be-underlined words and otherwise spaces but it didn't look that good and was going to be very time consuming as the underlined words and characters are dotted about in various places.
There is probably a simple answer to this and I'd be very grateful for any help. Thanks.
While entering the piano part in an accompanied song I have come across what I think is a glissando, reaching from the last note of the bar (a D above middle C) in the bass clef to the first note of the next bar (an E above m C) in the treble clef. It is a straight diagonal line of the usual thickness as slurs, etc..
I've looked at the ways suggested of entering this. I can do it using text at the beginning of the second bar with right justification and a staff position of 11. BUT, due to its longer stretch over the bar line, the angle of the needed line is at a minimum of 45 degrees and all the slash lines I've found so far that might be used for the purpose run at about 30 degrees to the vertical, i.e. at too sharp an incline. I have found one in Opus Chords.ttf (Alt + 0188) that runs at just about the right angle but unfortunately it is a relatively thick slash and at 36 pt, which I need for the length, is rather too thick. Does anyone know of a font with a similarly angled forward slash of normal line thickness? Or a better way of achieving what I'm after? Thanks for your help.
Hi, I am creating a chord which consists of a whole note with a downward stem and a dotted quarter note with an upward stem, both on the same note. Somehow the whole note gets placed between the quarternote and its dot, which makes it difficult to notice the dot when reading the music. If the whole note was placed before the quarter note the problem would disappear; but is it possible to force this to happen? Or is there another solution? Layering doesn't help and nor does the order in which I input each note. Thanks for any help, Nick
