Staggered Bow? (bow with parenthesis)
I understand the (V) symbol is not in SMuFL and must be created manually. But I'm having a lot of trouble matching the fonts of the parenthesis AND of the up bow.
-
I figured I would create a regular text element (add>text>staff text), and save that to my custom palette. Is this the best way?
-
What fonts would match MuseScore's default parenthesis, and up/down bows? (Leland does not match)
-
Can this custom text be created in such a way, that it will change fonts automatically? (Say, if I want to make future score with Bravura, or MuseJazz). Or would I need to make a custom text element for each font?

Increase the size of that v to like 18pt? While leaving the parens at 10pt.
It would change along with the Musical (Text) Font, but the size may not match then anymore

heh, I wish! I tried that - it's not a size issue, the symbol is completely different.

Well, I tried and it works.
Ctrl+T, (, F2, pick the V from the Musical Symbols, String techniques, )
Select the V (and that only) and in the text tool increas font size

Ok this does work, thanks for checking! I think a couple things were going on:
So that's how to get the up bow to match. Any idea about the parenthesis? The default for (parenthesis around notes) doesn't seem to match Leland, Leland Text, or Edwin.

A single string can contain multiple fonts, actually that is what the "Remove Custom Formatting" reverts.
Here Edwin vor the parens and the musical font (whichever that is) for the V
<font size="10" face="Edwin"/>(<font size="18" face="ScoreText"/><sym>stringsUpBow</sym><font size="10" font face="Edwin"/>)"ScoreText" is a placehoder and changes along with the Musical Text Font setting of a score

hmm I'm not even sure what I'm not understanding. Pasting your code into my staff text still gets me an Edwin up bow, and trying to edit it:

It is not Edwin. just a too smallScoreFont I think?
Check this, look at it with a text editor too

I seem to have a vague memory of staggered bowing looking more like this.

Could be wrong.
This is not hard to make, but I have no idea how to save it to a palette.
FWIW I selected the cello note. Added the up and down symbols. Dragged them to the correct place. Selected the cello note again and hit SHIFT+(. this put ( ) around the note. Dragged them to either side of the bow symbols. At least everything is the proper size?

Yeah, here's what I get when importing. (the 2nd note is an upbow articulation I added, for comparison)

I looked in the text editor, and saw this line
Even when I edit that line manually, to "Leland" instead of "ScoreText", the up bow shows up in Edwin font!
Changing Format>Style>Text Styles>Staff to Leland doesn't change the up bow, either.

To override a single character in a text, you don't use the Inspector, but you select the character and use the text toolbar at the bottom of the page:
This should allow you to create one such text for each musical font you wish, and them to your palette for reuse.

THERE we go, thank you! I completely missed that bottom toolbar.
Now it works!
