Renaissance proportional tempo marking 10 years ago I'm looking for advice on choosing a font file. I need to add a tempo change indication to a renaissance viol fantasia. The time signature changes from 4/2 to 3/2. At the point where the time signature changes, above the staff I want to add text consisting of a whole note, an equal sign, and a dotted whole note. Can you recommend a suitable font file for this? Quote Selected

Can you recommend a suitable font file for this?The built-in StaffSymbols font (and StaffCueSymbols, which is basically StaffSymbols scaled down in size) has characters for a whole note and an augmentation dot. However, I don't think it has the "=" character. So you would need to concatenate or overlay multiple Staff Text objects to get these together.There may be other notation fonts that have all of these characters available; I'll let someone else comment on that.Mike Quote Selected

Re: Renaissance proportional tempo marking Reply #3 – 10 years ago If you check out the text font (E.G. MusikTextSerif) in any of my font suites (E.G. MusikDingsSerif) the characters:Dec 137 (Alt 137 - on numeric pad) = ë = quaverDec 138 = è = semiquaverDec 139 = ï = Crotchet with equals signDec 140 = î = CrotchetDec 141 = ì = MinimDec 142 = Ä = SemibreveN.B. you may need to use <alt 0137> instead of <alt 137> etc. Or the character selector within NWC works well too Normal equals sign is an equals <=> and a full stop (or period) <.> may make a passable augmentation dot.My fonts are available on the NWC2 CD OR from the NWC site:http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/uc/pardypack/index.htmThey are also available via the scripto http://nwc-scriptorium.org/ or my own website: http://zoundz.pardyline.com.au Quote Selected
