How to indicate that a passage is to be played on only one string?
Hello.
I have been composing a string quartet and would like to have the second violin play a certain passage on only the G string to give it a warmer tone. As many of you know, this is usually represented by a Roman numeral above the first note, and sometimes as a line, extending over the passage, each numeral representing a different string (e.g. I=E II=A, etc.) Can somebody tell me where to find these numerals for note input?
Thanks in advance!

Click on the note;
Ctrl + T and enter the font (and / or the annotation).
Alternative: Add / Text> Rehearsal Mark (Ctrl + M)
If you want the line, see the Lines palette (be sure you are in the Advanced, not Basic, workspace - see control at bottom of Palette), The line marked "VII" will do nicely, Add it, then right click the line, Line Properties, and change the text to whatever you like.
