Hi Dan, I am trying to write a V4-3 (and a V74-3).
My configuration in Dorico for this is: Library → Paragraph Styles → Lyrics → Font: MusAnalysis
However, when I write -, it goes to the next note, so I cannot write 4-3.
What should I do?
I believe there is another character that I added that does the same thing and avoids the advancing behavior of the hyphen, but it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten what it is. The documentation should tell you.
You might also try a non-breaking hyphen, Opt-hyphen, but I don’t know if that works here.
Found it. It is . (dot)
However, how do you visually extend the line?
I tried adding more dots and I got this
You place the 3 at the next position and add a trackback line. It’s in the documentation. I think it’s an exclamation point.
I’m late to the party on this, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I’ve been using text and using Finale Numerics for this, which is clunky and time-consuming, and this is SO much easier to use. Many, many thanks from a very happy new customer.
In case anyone’s wondering, I changed the lyrics translation font to MusAnalysis. Now if Dorico would let you un-choose lyric extensions under paragraph styles so I could have them back on the real lyric . . .

Adding a new paragraph style dedicated to analysis with a click on the asterisk icon (Save as default) allows users to add a keyboard shortcut command!

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to enter a double sharp symbol with this font!
Also, a double flat symbol is difficult to type.
I am loving MusAnalysis!!! I previously had the old SicilianNumerals font, which is no longer available TT only, and it was pretty good too, slightly different look to the fonts for something different…but not NEARLY as deep as MusAnalysis is…I don’t even know what half of the functional analysis symbols are that it supports…so some more stuff for me to learn. Anyway just wanted to give another kudos. Very useful font for me.

Great, thanks for the encouraging feedback! It was a long time passion project for me. I’m glad to see it’s gotten widespread adoption… Somewhere around 3000 users, if I am remembering correctly.

I just came to show my appreciation, @dan_kreider ! I purchased it a week ago to make my worksheets for my students. It works beautifully and saved me a lot of time! Even if tomorrow Dorico 6 releases with functional analysis, it has already paid itself for the time saved.
Good work!

@dan_kreider Thank you for working on this, I’m not aware of any other good way to put in analysis symbols into Dorico. I’ve used your tool about once a month for the past year, and I’ve noticed some issues I wanted to bring to your attention. I’m wondering if it’s a user error on my end or a bug on your end.
Many of the notation styles written in the doc seem to be broken. For example, this input should produce a major triangle and a superscript (9), but it doesn’t
And this should produce a half dim symbol but it doesn’t
It looks like ligatures aren’t working for you. It’s definitely not a problem with the font, as nothing has changed in that regard. Do you perhaps have tracking set on your paragraph style? Tracking can sometimes break ligatures.
Awesome!!!
