We have a pretty large screen. Yet, the melody line versions are not really adequate because the words come out too small. As the music director I'm eager to have the meldoy line. But, if folks can't read the words the meldoy line versions are not too popular. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/melody-disply-format-fonts#post-1960 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:25:58 +0000 michaelschutz 1960@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a request/idea for the "melody" display format for exporting into Powerpoint. I'm very familiar with notation software, so I understand the limitations when working with notation, but I'm wondering if it would be possible either to allow a customizing of the font for the Melody display, or to change the default font to one that's more suited to screens. Even a bolded version of the current default (I think it's just Times New Roman, right?) would be much easier to see on a screen.</p> <p>For a few hymns, the default line/page breaks don't work well (is there a place to either request changes to that?), so I've created custom versions for our congregation. To keep consistency I use the same font, but made it bold, and it's much easier to read. (As an aside, is there also a place to report "bugs" such as missing slurs on the notation?)</p> <p>Ideally, a font with a larger x-height, or other features that make it seem "bigger" at the same point size, would be better, such as Tahoma or something like that. If this is a feature request for a future version, please file it as such. I know it's probably impossible to simply allow the user to choose whatever font (though that would be amazing!), but considering a different default would be a worthy idea, IMO. </p>
