Chapter 7: Notation and Printing
116
Enharmonics for chord tones are automatically based on the chord.
Enharmonics for passing tones are based on chords if “Use Chord Scale Enharmonics” is set to true.
For example, on an F#7 chord in the key of Eb, the Ab note is part of the F#7 scale (as a G#, the 2nd of the scale),
but is also part of the Eb key of the song. If you want to display based on the chord scale, setting “Use chord scale
enharmonics” will display the note as a G# instead of an Ab.
Engraver Spacing
This is another one of the program's intelligent features which spaces the Notation appropriately to avoid
overlapping notation while accounting for space required by accidentals, rests, etc. This feature is visible only in
Standard Notation mode.
Selection of Font for Chords, Lyrics, Text, and Titles
You can use the PG Music fonts or Jazz fonts for your chords and notation. Or you can choose Arial or any other
font on your system for chords, lyrics, text, and titles. The Jazz fonts have the “handwritten manuscript” look.
To select just the Jazz music font select the “Use Jazz Music Font” option, then choose
your Chord, Lyrics, Text, and Title fonts.
The [Jazz Fonts] button installs a pre-selected group of Jazz fonts.
The [Arial] button installs the regular notation font and Arial for everything else.
Or you can select from any of the fonts installed on your
computer using the settings found in the Notation Options
dialog.
Check “Use Jazz Music Font” to use the Jazz font, and check
“Jazz Symbols” to use shorthand Jazz chord symbols in the
notation.
