!Sibelius7/!Help/Fonts

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

TEXT FONTS

  The fonts used by the various text styles
  default to styles of Trinity. The fonts can be
  changed (see Changing font, below).

  When you type text into Sibelius, you can use
  certain music symbols which aren't available
  in any normal font. For these symbols,
  Sibelius uses its own specially-designed font
  called Sibelius Tempo, and automatically
  changes back to the main font for normal
  characters.


LOADING !FONTS

  You will have to do this before using the
  overview window, printing or saving a page as
  a graphic. Sibelius will remind you to do it
  when necessary.

  To load !Fonts, simply open a directory window
  with a !Fonts icon on it, and double-click on
  the icon.


CHANGING FONTS

  You can change the font of any text style by
  going into its Font List menu, which lies
  to the right of the arrow after the text
  style's size. The current font for the text
  style will be ticked. You can then choose a
  different font.

  Choosing a different font changes the font not
  only of text you will type in the future, but
  also of all text already typed in in that
  style.

  Although it changes how text appears in the
  overview window and when printed, it does not
  change the font displayed in the editing
  window, which (for speed) is always one of the
  Trinity fonts.
