[Finale] circled note heads

2007-03-30 Thread George Ports
Thanks to Aaron, Christopher, and Jeff for your great help concerning circled 
noteheads. Using the Maestro K font with a metatool seems to work pretty good 
for me. It lines up good with the note vertically but, a little to the right 
horizontally which takes a small adjustment. Guess I don't have the line up 
with metatools just right. At least I have the circles now.
Thanks again,
George

huh? if you are using an existing font character (although i don't 
know what the Maestro K font is), why not use special tools: note 
shape tool?


you can adjust the stem connections in relation to the different 
noteheads in the doc options: stems: stem connections.


i get the feeling that there might be an easier way to do what you 
are trying to do, george, can you post an example online somewhere of 
what you want?

I made a mistake on Maestro Kis was shift L. The font seemed 
great but having trouble with the alignment. Maybe your suggestion with the 
shape tool could be a better way. I'll try it.

Thanks again,
George

What could be easier than that? If you create your circle as a shape 
expression, or as an articulation, and then get the positioning 
right, you can assign it to a metatool and it will place itself 
perfectly every time.

There are circled noteheads in Engraver Extras font at F and sh-F.  
Replace the notehead with these new ones using the Special Tools.


Alternately, you could create an articulation or an expression that  
is set to position automatically. A little work now and you could  
have a circle that you could enter in one click as a metatool.

help menu: engraver / maestro etc. font charts

there are a couple of examples depending on how big / what shape you want.
