Hello I hope someone can help me with this: I'm transcribing music for solo piano and would like to change the font of the 8va/8vb tool within the Smart Shape palette (the one octave higher symbol is the one I intend to use). Is there any way to do this, without changing the font in use? (I'm actually using Maestro font) Thank you all

With the Smart Shape tool selected, go to the Smart Shape menu and select Smart Shape Options. In Fin2003, the top item is a selection box for the various texts, with Set Font in a box beside it. You can set 8va and 8vb separately, though apparently you have to have a font that has "8va" as one character, as you can't enter more than one character.
What you CAN do though, if you need to create an 8va from a non-music font, is to create a Custom Line, which allows any number of characters as starting text. This gets a little complicated, though you should be able to feel your way through it, as I did. You can create as many Custom Lines as you need, though switching between them takes a few too many keystrokes for my speed deemon personality.
