regarding numeric tab for Harmonica score

2006-05-30 12:07 am

I am trying to complete my first harmonica workbook using NoteWorthy. I have finished all the notation and now need to insert the tab using the Lyrics tool.

1. I represent "blow" notes using plain numbers.
2. I represent "draw" notes using numbers with circles around them.
3. Using "Encore" I can create numbers with circles around them.

Question: Is there any way to insert numbers with circles around them using the Lyrics tool?

Thank you!

If you set the Staff Lyrics font size to perhaps 6, and then use Alt-0162 as a text entry before each number you want circled, it will work. Go to the Scriptorium http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.htmlto get the font, it's easy to install. Set UserFont1 to SwingDings, Size 24 or so.

Write your numbers in the lyrics. Use notes to anchor (trigger the display of) them. Then insert text before the desired note using the SwingDings character. It will give you a somewhat hand-drawn circle, which you can move to the right height and centre over the note following it. It will be superimposed over the number that is displayed by the lyric.

I found it works with 1 and 2 digit numbers, but I didn't check for 3 digits.
