General Discussion / Re: "Text" window size

One last comment. As you may have guessed, I'm completely ignorant of programming, a subject completely foreign to me.
My question might even seem ridiculous.
I wonder how our very own Harald Müller (HMM) managed to program a line break with the "|" character in his XText.hmm.
Have a nice day. Lorenzo

A different topic on this: I assume there would be no easy to do this, but it would be nice if the font could be changed within a line. This would allow you to italicize a word within a title, copyright line, or any other text. I don't know how it would be implemented: Perhaps %font:fontname% (eg. %font:StaffItalic%.. The fontname could be the actual font name (StaffSymbols, Uset1, or any of the 14 names in the font list.  Or an abbreviation (SS, SC, etc.). I don't know what would happen is a font name was not recognized. I also don't know if the Font Size should also be included in-line.

The problem with the "line break" (or next line) still needs to be solved without resorting to the infamous %br%. But it's not a big problem.
Hi Lorenzo,
I hate to break it to you, but %br% IS the only mechanism for PageTxt.nw to start a new line.  By design, it doesn't recognise any other kind of line break.
FYI, %br% wasn't even included in the original release of PageTxt.nw, it was added later.

Thanks, David.
In a personal conversation, Flurmy had already suggested this excellent solution, which I've already tried successfully. I used Notepad: write the text and then copy/paste it into PageTxt --> Text. The problem with the "line break" (or next line) still needs to be solved without resorting to the infamous %br%. But it's not a big problem.
Have a good day.
Lorenzo

Potresti provare a digitare i tuoi lunghi testi in un altro programma, poi copiarli/incollarli in quel piccolo campo di testo (finestra). Accetterà almeno 410 caratteri – è quanti ne ho inseriti proprio ora. Sono molti di più di quelli che possono stare su una sola riga della tua pagina stampata.

You might try typing your long lyrics in another programme, then copy/paste them into that little Text field (window).   It will accept at least 410 characters - that's how many I entered just now.  It's many more than will fit on one line on your printed page

Ciao Flurmy
Eh no, è proprio la dimensione del testo da scrivere, non di quello visualizzato nello spartito. Me ne farò una ragione  :( .
Oh no, it's the size of the text to be written, not the one displayed in the score. I'll get over it
