Pre 4.4.3 Jazz Segno/Coda Symbols

• Oct 29, 2024 - 01:42

Ok, so I'm glad we can adjust the size of codas and segnos again. That said, I really like the look of their symbols in Jazz fonts pre 4.4.3. They were really bold and easy to see. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to put them back?

I agree, the jazz symbols for segno and coda are much, much better. Is it still possible to use them? If yes, how? If not, can they please be returned to MuseScore?

I came here because I was wondering why I suddenly cannot seem to get these jazz sign and coda symbols with the boxes around them! It looks like they must have disappeared when 4.4.3 was introduced? I'd love to have them back with 4.4.5.

The jazz Coda and Segno do appear in the Master Palette, but only as a symbol, not in the category for repeats & jumps. If I add it as a symbol, it has no function in playback. Worse, there is no auto placement.
Apparently, they are part of the MuseJazz font, but if I change the font of a regular segno to MuseJazz, there is no effec. The symbol remains a classical one. Doesn't matter if I select the "text" (the symbol itself, or if I select the box. By reclicking the box, the Font has reverted to "--".
Pasting the symbol inside the box does not work either.
Furthermore, In the selection menu for a font (typeface) the user cannot press a letter key to jump in the list (e.g. press M to jump to typefaces starting with M). Instead, the letter is inserted into the element (e.g., the segno is replaced by an M.).
