The other thing that can't be forgotten is that the height of the whole font is based on the height of the tallest character. In the case of text fonts, this is not a big deal since all characters are mostly either 1 size (lowercase) or the other (uppercase). This is why finale uses the Font Annotation files to know exactly how tall each character is. There's a huge difference between the staccato character and the Treble ottava clef character...

The various notation fonts are designed to work with the software with which they are provided for specific purposes. If I understand him correctly, Charles is trying to use the font for something which it will do, but for which it was not designed, and for which it's not the best tool. Kind of like using a ten pound sledge hammer to open a can of beans; yes, you can do the job, but it's easier with a can opener. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
