Feature Request - Project Info formatting

Dorico
1

Hi all,

Obviously, I could do this in Engrave by just replacing the token with the text, however for sake of completeness of the paradigm, could we have the ability to add formatting markdown to the text in the “project info” dialog? E.g. the following lyricist information:

English Traditional c. 15th Century
Source (MS Sloane 2593, British Library, )

If I could enter that in that way - doesn’t have to be a full font formatting bar - just simple markdown e.g.

*English Traditional* c. 15 Century \n Source (*MS Sloane 2593*, British Library)

Similarly composer dates and arrangers:

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)
Arr. John Sneedle

Johannes Brahms (*1833-1897*) \n **Arr**. John Sneedle

Many thanks
Edd

This has been requested before. It’s an interesting idea to consider using Markdown for this purpose. I’ll certainly think about it.

From the 5.1.10 Version History, I see…

But using the File :arrow_forward: Project Info option, I do not see the needed button or option to activate this.

Try scrolling down a bit. Just above the copy button

your screenshot shows another page, you have to select the Project page in that window.

This is a very useful function. Perhaps it could be added to any text box (SHIFT+X) in a future version?
