Hi, I have a question regarding dotted slurs (I'm not certain that's their "technical" name, but they are slurs made out of a dotted line instead of a solid line and are generally used to say a rest or breath does NOT take place between 2 words/phrases). My question is simple: Is it possible to use this kind of slur in NWC? I can find normal slurs and ties, but not with the dotted line. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
They are also used when different verses of lyrics have differing numbers of syllables. They have to be entered as text via a special font and juggled to get them in the correct place,only for preparing a printed page.
Actually, I have developed a way to achieve this effect without the slur font.
I have been using a dingbat font that has a thick version of |.
I insert a text item consisting of | | | | | | | | (or however many are needed), highlighted white, justified right.
Of course, this works only if the slur is above or below the staff.
If the slur is in the staff, I have a much more complicated way to do it that I can't describe here (well, I suppose I could...).
Have a look at the NoteHedz font, code locations 249-254 (decimal).
