Hello, all!
I frequently use Dorico for liturgical arrangements, with red rubrical symbols. To do this, I put the V or R symbol in front of the first syllable of the line, with a couple hard spaces, and offset it left. But this means that the symbol is in the same lyric field (assigned to the same note). See the below example:
Dorico allows me to use colored lyrics, but currently only whole fields can be assigned a color. There doesn’t seem to be a way to color a single character within a field. So what I end up having to do is open the PDF output in Adobe Illustrator, convert the text to curves, and make each symbol red. This is what I did to achieve the above result.
If there is a better way of doing this within Dorico, I would love to hear suggestions. But also, it would be great if we could color individual characters within a lyric field rather than being limited to field by field coloring. Thanks!
Chris
