Breath mark appears different than in palette preview

• Dec 11, 2015 - 03:42

Whenever I insert a breath mark, which looks correct in the palette:

It ends up looking more like a dino tooth:

Any way to make it look like the quote-like bold breath mark in the palette?

Running MuseScore 2.0.2 on OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. It looked like this in the 1.0 series on previous versions of the OS on this machine as well, so I'm assuming it's either intentional or a font problem.

Thank you!

It is sort of a font problem. The issue is that the music font used in the interface is not the same as the default for scores. Go up to the Style menu, choose General, and switch your score's music font from Emmentaler to Bravura to get your score to look the same as the palette symbols.

Well, it mostly depends on habits: to me, the shape in the score looks "correct" and the one in the palette "wrong"...

I believe it would be better if the palette could show the symbols with the font actually used in the score. I think there has been work for this, but perhaps it proved too complex and more urgent matters kicked in?
