Alternative notes per lyrics. 6 days ago Is there a way in NoteWorthy to change the note head size for individual notes?I have seen this in engravings from publishers and would like to incorporate it in some songs I have written.In the attached image, you can see that the alternative notes (smaller note heads) would only be played on the 2nd and third stanzas of the song. The first image shows what NotWorthy looks like, and the second image is what the original score looks like at the same place.Your help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.BJ Quote Selected
Re: Alternative notes per lyrics. Reply #1 – 6 days ago I initially thought that layering would do it, but I don't see any options for changing font size in the staff options. Quote Selected
Re: Alternative notes per lyrics. Reply #2 – 6 days ago There is a user object which will do what you want, called CueHeads.ms. You place a copy of the object at the start of the staff that contains the notes that you wish to have smaller noteheads. Then, on the desired notes, you change the notehead to a Blank Space. The object will automatically find the notes with the blank noteheads and draw in a smaller notehead. The properties of the CueHeads.ms object will let you specify the size of the cue noteheads. It defaults to 70% of a full size notehead.To change the specific noteheads to blank space noteheads, do the following:With nothing selected, hover over the notehead with the cursor.Right-click and choose Noteheads > Blank Space.You will probably want to manually adjust the stem length of the notes with smaller noteheads. If you are using split stem chords, this might be a problem because Noteworthy Composer doesn't let you set the stem lengths of the up and down notes individually. It might work best to have those notes on a layered staff. Quote Selected
