I have set my music font to Chaconne Ex, so I would like to change the font of musical symbols used in text tokens, such as {@flat@} for instrument and part layout names, from Bravura to Chaconne Ex. However, I don’t know how to do this.
I have specified Chaconne Ex Text as the “Music text font,” but the ♭ symbol still appears to be in Bravura Text.
(For regular text, I have specified Century Oldstyle.)
Chaconne’s flat is slimmer and straighter than Bravura’s:
Also, the flat symbols in these text elements align with the baseline of other characters, but is there a way to make them slightly superscripted, like Finale’s flat (Ctrl + Shift + F)?
The flat glyph in the staff label comes from Library / Character Styles / Music Text. There are superscript settings there too. Or you can just manually create the entire staff label including the flat if you’re unhappy with Dorico’s positioning.
Hi @FredGUnn ,
Sorry for the late reply, but in the meantime, I managed to find that feature on my own.
I created a new character style and manually set the staff name, which allowed me to display it as I wanted in the score.
However, the part name displayed in the part layout gets overridden by the paragraph style for part layout names, so the Character Styles I set ends up being meaningless.
This thread might be a bit old, but I’m posting this in case the information is helpful to someone.
The accidentals in Chaconne Ex Text are designed to be higher than the baseline, so simply setting the Music Text of Character Styles should be sufficient.
If you are still having trouble, please send me another message.
