Beams and slur symbols missing/how to write shuffle time

• Nov 13, 2016 - 14:32

Hi, as in the attached image, I can't view any symbol in the "Beams and slurs" Musical symbols section, when I try to add a special character in any text.

I noticed this same issues also for other sections, as "Combining staff positions".

Actually I'm try to write, in the initial tempo text, the right form for shuffle time: 2 eight notes beamed equal to a quarter plus an eight in triplet. I can't find the best way to write, at the same height, two groups just described, cause if I use symbols in the "individual notes" section they are bigger than the ones in the "beamed groups of notes" in which I can beam two eights. (Other attached file).

Can someone help me?

Thank you! :)

Thank you guys, I solved with your suggestion. It's a pity that is not possible to write directly this group of symbols. Furthermore I don't understand why I can't view symbols in the specific section of the special characters: I think it contains right useful symbols to realise this tempo indications.

Can you view the symbols in "Beams and slurs" section? And why I can't?

Thank you! :)
