Changing Segno & Coda Symbols

Hi,

Any idea how to change (substitute) the Segno & the Coda Symbols from Music Symbols… ? Why aren’t they included to the list? Thanks.

Hi @dspreadbury,

May you consider as a feature request? Thanks.

+1. I was just yesterday helping a Finale user recreate his Finale templates in Dorico, and he was pretty bummed there was no way to use the symbols in his proprietary font for these.

Your Finale-using friend could create a new font based on Bravura Text and replace the coda and segno symbols in there, then set that new font as the Music text character style in Library > Character Styles.

Why not just including the two symbols within the list? that would be easy… too bad.

They seem really hardwired too. I thought of just changing the codePoint where Dorico is looking for them with a doricolib, but it doesn’t look like they appear in either glyphs.xml or composites.xml.
