Hi everyone,
I was wondering why when I inserted music glyphs don’t fit well with the text. It looks like a superscript.
I think I followed the right steps (copy the glyphs from the SMuFL page and then used the Bravura text font).

You can use MusGlyphs for this; it’s a lot easier. Bravura Text still requires baseline and size adjustments.
I’ll do that! Thanks for your help
I’m also wondering why the “fl” is not displaying correctly. It should be showing a ligature. What font is this? It’s not correctly kerned either.
It is the default font : Academico
Oops, my fault. I checked the font, and that fl ligature is correct.
I can’t say I like that ligature… It looks like a mistake. But it’s correct.
In Dorico 4 it’s now much easier to add musical symbols to text items. A right-click in Shift-X text items or in text frames opens a “Insert Music Text” dialog that shows some standard characters. When pressing the down arrow button in the “Recently used” field, a giant menu opens with SMuFL names to choose from
May be one of the rather hidden D4 improvements, but I find it extremely useful. It is described on page 80 in the version history.
…very useful…!
Too bad, the list is not sorted in a good alphabetic order
With the overwhelming number of available SMuFL symbols, it does not seem easy to create a clear way of representing them. Even in a strict alphabetic order it would be difficult to find a specific character, if the name or group is unknown. Maybe there should be multiple categories, such as: standard notation (clefs, articulations, dynamics etc.); accidentals and ornaments; instrument specific techniques; historically structured (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Contemporary). Not an easy task I guess.
@Juerg Yes, I like the stricture you mentioned, it’s somehow way better. But at least if sorted, you know that Clefs are on the top of the list not on the bottom.
