multi-measure rests - specifically, the numeral

• Apr 8, 2015 - 13:28

Unless I've overlooked it, I've just noticed that the font and attributes of the numeral don't seem to be governed by a text style. If that's so, is its appearance really so standardized that customization is unnecessary?

This is admittedly idle curiosity on my part, but it startled me to realize that I never thought about it until now. (I'm a pianist, and the only practical familiarity I have with multi-measure rests is from the very rare occasions that I'm looking at scores for chamber music ensembles.)

I guess they are considered as part of the music and like time signature, they are governed by the musical font selected in Style > General > Score.

When I change among the Emmentaler, Gonville, Bravura and even Muse Jazz text fonts, I don't see any visible change in the appearance of either the time signature or the multi-measure rest numeral; they appear in what looks to be MScoreBC in all cases.

FWIW, I think it's a very reasonable choice. I love MScoreBC, and I use it for all fingerings as well.
