better more intutitve options for Photoscore to Sibelius
Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2018 4:45 am
I would love more intuitive formatting options.
I am a new user and many of the things that I thinks should be intuitive are not. My great plan was to use Photoscore to make leadsheets. Here are some things that I think should be easy.
Edit all chord markings at once - I should be able to select all chord markings (diagrams & text) and delete all chord diagrams if I want, change the font for all chord diagrams, and increase the size of the font on all diagrams. I am making leadsheets for picky accompanists who say they do not want the guitar chord diagrams. I have spent a lot of time on this and feel like many others might enjoy this kind of feature.
Somewhere under layout it would be so kind of you as to make an easy button to control the number of bars per system. Much of vocal music is 4 bars per system, and it would be so easy for me to select this and have it just automatically work.
Make it easy to add another bar line. Right now the only thing I can add is an ossia which messes up my lyrics formatting. This is very frustrating. I opened a PDF in Phtoscore and had things the way I want. But the first 4 bars are a piano intro. I would like to be able to add the empty vocal line to this. I later have 3 staffs. When I convert to piano/vocal. the piano intro is misread as line - vocal, line 2, piano. It should be line 2 & 3 with empty vocal. There is no intuitive way for me to add a few empty measure above that piano intro and make that the vocal line.
I ask on the forum and no one seems to have answers for these questions.
