When displaying a text object, some special music characters can be
inserted within the string.
This lets you create rhythmic patterns, or insert accidental
symbols into standard text.
In the text, insert the sequence $(xxxxx), where "xxxxx" is one of the
commands described below.
For example: "CM$(n)7" will display a natural symbol inside a CM7 chord
name.
Here is how a command can be built.
Notes are separated by "+" or a space if they are independent.
A "_" will add a slur.
- You can add:
d (double-flat)
b (flat)
# (sharp)
x(double-sharp)
n (natural)
- then, if necessary:
R if the note is a rest
- then the note length:
1 whole note
2 half note
4 quarter note
etc
- then, if necessary:
. (dotted)
.. (double dotted)
- then, if necessary, a simple tuplet mark:
:3 simple triplet
:6 simple sextolet
etc
or a complex tuplet mark:
:3:2 for a 3:2 triplet
:6:4 for a sextolet drawn 6:4
Some commands can be inserted. They will be active from their position
until the end of the command line.
Size change:
S0 (small)
S1 (medium)
S2 (standard)
S3 (big)
Color change:
Cxxxxxx (xxxxxx = color RGB in hexadecimal)
Symbol spacing:
Lx (x = extra spacing from -9 to 9)
Note head shape:
Hx (x = note shape from A to Z)
