Copyright symbol in footer and footer only on first page
Hi Everyone, I'm making an arrangement which will be published. I need to put a lengthy copyright footer on page one. Can I have it on page one only? Also, how do I get the actual copyright symbol itself? If I use $C in the format-style-header/footer option, I just get the meta-tag chosen in the score creation. Thank you. Dan

Copy / paste into the copyright field of the score properties.

See File / Score Properties to add the copyright message, then $C works as expected.

I don't know about that. I tried your suggestion Marc and I still just get the $c symbol (it doesn't convert to the copyright symbol).

You misunderstood Marc and Jojo. Copy the copyright symbol Jojo included in his post to the copyright field of Score Properties then put $C (must be a capital C for the first page only) in the footer and the contents of the copyright field will be shown.

To be even more explicit:
Step 1: File > Score Properties > Copyright > paste in the © symbol > click OK
Step 2: Format > Style... > Header, Footer > Footer Text > Middle > type $C > click OK

Addition: Paste the © and your lenghty (multi-line?) copyright text there

AH! Thank you Jojo Rabbit. We need the explicit directions. Unfortunately, the handbook is not as explicit as we noobs like.
I got the copyright symbol okay... BUT, I need the copyright to appear ONLY on the FIRST page. There's an option to show it on the first page... but then it shows it on every page. I need it on the FIRST page and then no where else. I don't see how to do that.

Use "$C", not "$:copyright:" in header/footer
