Hello everyone,
I am desperately trying to write a time signature in a text frame. I’ve tried inputting tokens, both things like {@timeSig3@} and {@U+E083@}, setting the pagagraph style to Music text, it doesn’t (really) work: in the first case, the token text just shows up, in the second I do get a time signature 3, but it’s very small and I can’t scale it.
I have tried using a Shift+X text instead even though it’s not ideal for me and inputting it as Unicode Hex but I’ve failed at that too, I suspect my non-QWERTY keyboard may have something to do with it? In any case, it just inputs random accentuated letters.
Could anyone help me with this?
Thank you

Hi Clement.
I find using MusGlyph for this kind of text addition the best solution as it’s so easy (it’s a donationware so it’s really not expensive!)
You’ll find it on Notation Central.
This is some shift-X text, 3/4 written in MusGlyph at 18 pts.

I don’t think those are valid tokens.
If you just want a single glyph, e.g. just a number 3, then that’s easy enough.
Right-click in the text area, and click on “Insert Music Text”.
Then select the symbol from the dialog
But if you want two numbers on top of each other, that’s a bit more difficult. (I presume you’re not trying to do actual time signatures above the score this way. That can be done in Layout Options.)
