Topic: expression font error

sklermbot

Hugh,
I saw that you dealt with this in an earlier thread
http://forum.thewritescore.com/index.php?topic=375.0

However, that user seems to be on Sib 7.   I'm on Sibelius 6.  I am having the exact same errors though.  Should I just input text like 'subito' as technique text?  I don't have the Plantin MT Std text available on my mac.  Right now, my expression text is set to Opus Text.  I'm wondering if that is incorrect.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Ben

Hi Ben

Go to House Style > Edit Text Styles, select Expression, click Edit. Change the font to Times New Roman (which happens to be the Sib 6 default), or whatever else works for you.

I had changed this once upon a time per a user request, but I think I may decide to change it back. Hmm....

Seems like the benefit of the Opus font is that you don't have to hold 'command' for it to place the dynamics marks.  I'd rather have to hold command but still be able to enter subito.  I'll have to use that next time though, because switching it in the middle of this project means I'd have to reenter all the dynamics while holding command. 
Later Hugh!
