Time Signatures

[Mapex2021]

Hi everyone,
was there an update to allow for customization over time signatures?

Kind regards,

Dan.

Hi Dan - no, an update to support arbitrary time signatures is still not available.

That's a shame, but thanks for letting me know. Three is a possible workaround I've found, if only to use on small groove/fill ideas, like 4 Bars long etc.. Exporting the PDF, converting to a PNG file online, then using paint to srub out the 4/4 and replace it. I don't yet know the font style that is used for time signatures on charts yet mind.

The font is the "Feta font" used by LilyPond (another music notation program).

These are the time signature glyphs:

One option would be to use LilyPond to render out the time signatures of interest to a PNG and paste them into your own image.

Hi Richard,
many thanks for the reply mate, most appreciated. Do I download the feta font from that page link? As I have tried but can't seem to see a download link. Cheers!

[Richard]

I can't find a copy of the font files online either but it looks like you will have them after installing LilyPond (http://lilypond.org/download.html)

In the case of Windows, these are the files:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\fonts\otf\emmentaler*.otf

The Feta font is contained within the font called Emmentaler.
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documenta ... taler-font)

In the case of Aered we do not process those font files directly. Instead we used LilyPond to render the glyphs we needed to SVG files and processed those.

That's awesome, many thanks for that mate, kindly appreciated!
