Title: Writing lyrics in russian or ukrainian
Post by: ac080938 on 2009-11-10 06:36 PM
Good evening from the eastern side of the North Sea (Norway), I have been attempting to write some of the ukrainian and russian folkmusic whcih I know and sing in Noteworthy, but it seems completely impossible to change to a cyrilic based alphabet.  I have tried every option that I know of, but can only get a line of question marks when what I have written in the lyrics section is OK'd.  I use both of these languages on my PC with word and other systems, and can change languages easily.  Mixing words both in cyrilic and western fonts is not a problem either.  Can anyone inform me on the correct procedure please to be able to add cycrilic lyrics to a NWC songfile?

Here are some related topics:

Arabic text in lyrics? (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6143.0)
entering Turkish lyrics (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=1894.0)
NWC lyrics in Hebrew? (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=5963.0)
Unicode font (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=4921.0)

Short answer seems to be that it can only be done via post-processing the EMF files.

Mixing words both in cyrilic and western fonts is not a problem either.
It is a problem in NWC2. Only one font can be chosen as the Lyric Font and the choice applies to the entire song.

Sorry, but I don't know enough about cyrillic to test them.
