Unfortunately, due to peculiarities of the Petaluma font, youāll have to adjust the border padding top and bottom, since it will be too wideā¦
But work it will.
I thought I recalled these border characters were built into Petaluma Text too, but I canāt seem to figure out how to access them right now. Iām not exactly sure which font is being used in that example and that āSā is pretty distinctive, but Iām guessing thatās Finale based on the ties/slurs and the fact that I know thatās what Mossman uses. (Obviously his publisher could use something different.) Either Jazz Text or Broadway Copyist Text that come with Finale have these characters, just click the āEnclosuresā tab at either of these links to see how to access them: https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/FinaleWin/Content/Finale/font-jazz.htm https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/FinaleWin/Content/Finale/font-broadway-copyist.htm
This is sort of cheating but if no one can remember or can figure out how to do it with Petaluma, you can always just use the enclosures from Jazz Text and position them if you really want to copy that look. Iām pretty sure that font is distributed free with the trial installer.
The fonts used in frankthetank_98 example are AshAlpha and AshMusic from Express Music (https://expressmusic.stores.yahoo.net/)
Unfortunately not available any more.
Hi, I am not sure of what you mean by enclosure in Jazz Text exactly. Could you please type out the steps to do this? Btw, Iām using Dorico Element, not sure if the said functionality is available for me(there is no engrave mode in Dorico Elements)
Hey, checked out the website and now im convinced that the enclosure type for text seen in the screenshot is not available in Dorico, at least not in Dorico Elements, which is the one Iām using lol.
The āBossaā example I posted was done in Dorico. I just input two separate text items and then positioned them to look like the boundary was right above the Bossa text. I entered āBossaā then entered āā as a separate text item using Jazz Text. I then positioned the cursor between the two overlapping brackets and typed "\ \ \ " alternating the slash and space until it was the correct width.
ahhh still quite confusedā¦ but thank you. What do you mean by āa separate text item using Jazz Textā, is there even such a thing called Jazz Text? If you are talking about musical fonts, that are only two - Petaluma and Bravura. And also, is it possible for me to place a text wherever I like on the score, because right now I can only place a text if it is attached to a note on the score. I want to place the āBossaā text far more to the left where there is more space, refer to the screenshot to see what I mean. Still, I am not sure where you can find the functionality for doing enclosure for a text, please screenshot if possible.
Petaluma Script does contain a stylistic set that automatically adds brackets like these, but unfortunately at the moment the font support in the underlying Qt framework that Dorico is built upon (and therefore also in Dorico itself) is insufficiently rich to allow the choice of different stylistic sets in OpenType fonts. We hope to make this substantially easier to achieve in future.
and look for the Pori font. It is the same as Petaluma, but not following the SMUFL Standard. When you download it it will give you a whole family of this font. You are specifically interested in these three:
They are regular Text fonts like TimesNewRoman, so you can use them in Dorico wherever you need. Use brackets for start and ending of the text, all characters have the line above, below or both baked into the font.
