Hi
I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to enter/edit/create the following:-
This is guitar notation (obviously?) where the fraction indicates the exact number of strings to be covered by the barré, the B indicates barré, and is conventionally interchangeable with the C which you provide (I prefer the B for Barré because most folkies or jazzers are not familiar with the Spanish term “Cejilla”), and the Roman numeral indicates the fret. The continuation line is probably easy enough, but I haven’t tried it yet because I can’t create the glyph I want.
Ideally, this would be a permanent glyph in the playing techniques palette, available for any future project, with the top number of the fraction editable at each instance in a project without affecting the default in the palette, and similarly the Roman numeral. However, If I have to create 258 glyphs to cover every combination, then I could live with that.
I have searched Dorico help and also Google, but have not found a method which works: I get as far as the glyph editor and come up with a work space with a text entry I can only move around the work space, but not edit, and I can’t add new items to the workspace, either. If I edit the 1/2C glyph provided in the palette it affects all the glyphs already placed in the project, so is of no use unless I can find out how to save the new glyph separately. The 1/2C is a kind of second-best to the image above, but will suffice if I can add the various Roman numerals.
I hope this makes sense.
Can you help?

Carl Vaughan
