Hi Satauna,

I haven't had any experience with writing lyrics, but I did experiment with a sighted colleague one day to come up with a suitable format for basic things such as size and styling of fonts for jazz lead sheets, default positions for 1st and 2nd endings, chord symbols, rehearsal marks, stuff like that and once everybody was happy with what they were reading I could save the basic layout to Save to Manuscript. Hope this is clear. I am happy to pass on what was recommended for the setup.

Subject: [ddots-l] Fonts for lead sheets


Hi, all. I would love to know what fonts folks are using when scoring lead
sheets in Sibellius. The default text font is InkPen2 Script. Call me
crazy, but when typing lyrics, you can't type an apostrophe. This makes
we're look like were, and we'll look like well. I'll looks like ill, you
get the point. It screws up all the contractions! I know, it's ridiculously
anal, but if someone has figured out a better text font I'd love to hear
about it.

Thanks,
Satauna
