Time Signature in text: internal alignment

Hi

After entering the Unicode characters in the System Text box I can get a time signature, but with more than one number in the ‘denominator’ the ‘fraction’ is left-aligned rather than centered.

Any clues to fixing this? (not MusGlyphs - as it doesn’t allow for non-power-of-two denominators)

thanks, Damian

The characters should be centered if you select them in the system text input mode and then click on the “Align Center” button in the flowing toolbar:

What do you want to achieve? There are layout options allowing to show the time signatures above staves by default, and you can enter non-power-of-two denominators in dorico natively.

I want to have a time signature in a system text box

Bravura Text not Bravura…ok looks promising

but I’m being dumb here - how exactly did you enter that?

EDIT: also being dumb with reply - this is for Martin

Thanks for that

so with Bravura Text I ignore the e09e and e09f numerator/denominator control characters and then adjust kerning and baseline as needed.

I just copied the numbers from the Windows character map and pasted them in the system text. Numerator and denominator are separated by Return. So, it’s a single system text. Then, you can highlight everything with StrgA and center the text. Because line and character distances are too big, I reduced them too.

Edit: You probably did it the same way in your last example. :slight_smile:
