Ottava and advanced pallete

• Dec 19, 2022 - 03:49

So I prefer the way that ottavas looked like in MS 3.6. I like the 8 being bold. But I can't find a way to bring that to MS 4. The properties panel for ottavas doesn't have a font setting, and changing the font setting in format>styles>text styles>ottava doesn't change anything (changing it to "bravura" should change ottava music font). So I opened the advanced pallete, and found the ottava symbols. But then I realized another problem: I can't copy those symbols. Right clicking on them revealed "delete" and "properties". Clicking on properties does nothing. I'm not sure why "delete" exists - how would you be able to restore deleted symbols? But I can't copy the symbol code like I could in MS 3. My strategy was to copy the 8va symbol from the bravura font instead of the default, but this doesn't seem to work. So the three issues I'm raising are:

  1. Ottava font cannot be changed
  2. Can't copy symbol codes from the advanced pallete
  3. Right clicking in the advanced pallete and then choosing "properties" does nothing
