Re: Adding chord names to sheet music (for guitar, piano, bass, or improv music)
G'day tmon,
<snip> I have now returned to text entry, doing only 2-3 measures at a time, manually re-entering the "Expression Placement/Staff Position" each and every time (kind of tedious).
You shouldn't need to re-enter "Expression Placement/Staff Position" every time. Place the insertion point/cursor at the vertical position you want the text to appear, choose the font, enter the text, go to the "Expression Placement" tab and set alignment - I use centre justify at next note bar, return to the "Text Expression" tab and press <Enter>. For every subsequent entry you should ONLY need to enter the text expression itself, all the rest of the details will remain unchanged until either the next time you start NWC OR you create a text entry with different parameters.
I'll try out the other fonts too.
I hope you like 'em.
BTW, the confusion about "Layering" was due, in part to how this is "available" both as an option in "Staff Properties/Visual" as well as "Allow Layering." These appear to behave differently, and I didn't quite understand how either option was related to the task.
Glad you got that sorted.
