Am Stuck A stuck composer

Hi Eamonn,

Try your A and C in lower voice (lv), and the Es and Ds above in upper voice (uv). Be sure to have no notes selected when you want to change back to single voice (sv). There are also buttons on the Notes toolbar to handle the voice changes.

all best,

Thank you for the information. It did the trick. However I have another problem. When I try to print out the music it does not appear as on the screen. I get no music notation, only a lot of letters, like O4, O4, EEE, GGG, OOO.

Hello Eamonn,

The problem you describe indicates that Notation Composer is not finding its music notation font, named "Harmony".

Is this a new problem? If so, perhaps it happened after you installed some other software that added more fonts to you Windows system. Versions of Windows up to, and including Windows XP, if I remember correctly, have a problem when there are more than about 300 fonts in your Windows/Fonts directory.

The work-around for that is to move fonts you don't need from the Windows/Fonts directory to some "Rarely Used Fonts" directory that you can create for this purpose. This used to be a more common problem several years ago, so it's a little surprising it is happening to you, unless you're using Windows 98.

And, there's always this: "If all else fails, restart Windows."

Cheers

Yes, that was the answer. I removed a number of the fonts into a newly created folder (Fonts, rarely Used) and lo and behold I was then able to print the score.
Thanks again.
