Tom,
I remember seeing a site with a font program to write notation but the
vertical orientation must be done manually as the program only writes left to
right. I downloaded it but did not copy the instructions as it does not seem
to work like other music/font programs I have used.
I assumed as in others I simply type the Emglis letter that represents the
note and the proper character would print. Not all notes (English) print and
many other letters do work.
Anyone out there familiar with this one. I will try and find the link again.
Best,
Tony
