Dynamics font...

[Janko]

Hello,

when I create a dynamic expression text on my MacBook and use one of templates (mf, f, etc) they appears with normal, not stylized font.
Expression texts made on PC are ok, I can copy them to the new places (on MacBook) and it still works.
How to fix it?

Regards,
Janko

Just hold down the Command (Apple) key while you type "f" or "mf" or whatever and it'll work fine.

Hmm, strange.
When I type any text font changes to Lucida Grande.
Sibelius interprets texts well (dynamics, etc) and I can manually change fonts but they are never in their original font after creating.
Anybody got the same problem?

Ehh still haven't found solution.
I tryed again to type with cmd key and it appears different (a bit more bold I think...) but not with music font.

However, that's what I spotted:

I have to type anything (in example daddfsfsdfsd), select it (cmd+a) and then immediately cmd+type desired character. In this case it works properly, but only for a first letter.

So if I would like to have mp written with opus text then I have to:
- cmd+e, type something sdfsdfsdf
- cmd+a, cmd+m
- again:
cmd+e, type something asdffsfsd
- select all that stuff excluding correctly written "m", cmd+f

That's how it works for me :/ ...
Anyone have a solution?
Otherwise I'll have to make dynamics on PC...

Ahhhhh I found it finally .
I'm working normally on PL keyboard layout and when I changed to US it worked!

Hi,

I had a similar problem running Sibelius 5 on Linux (through Wine).
I eventually managed to solve it by pressing enter after each text input and then pressing backspace again before moving focus away from the text.
