HELP! Can't Change Text Font in Existing Sheet Music???

• Apr 20, 2015 - 03:38

Hello,

I am running the latest Windows version of MuseScore. I am trying to change the text font for an existing piece of sheet music that I've downloaded. I have tried with no success to change all serif fonts to Calibri.

Under Style | Text, I've set everything to Calibri.

I've also even tried as far as modifying all the .xml files in C:\Program Files (x86)\MuseScore 2\styles and changing any reference to FreeSerif

What am I missing?

Thanks!

You are missing posting your score here so we can see what the problem is :-)

I can *guess*, though, that the score was created in 1.3, which does not support changing text styles in that manner - the original fonts are already hard coded into the text at this point. However, you can undo that in 2.0 by selecting the text (right click one element, Select / All similar elements) and pressing the "Reset Text to Style" button in the Inspector. Now it should respond to text style changes.
