That changes EVERY instance of that item. What if you only want some items smaller or larger? Particularly, I have been looking for a way to have the parenthesized sharp, flat, and natural a little larger in JazzFont. Other than editing the font itself (I would like my files to be transportable) is there a way? I don't particularly care for editing each and every courtesy accidental individually in every part with the accidental Special tool.
Are you sure you are using the larger-sized JazzFont parenthesized accidentals (i.e. for the sharp using character 97, not character 91, in Doc Opts > Accidentals)?
Yes, I checked. On my computer, the parenthesised accidentals are substantially smaller than the non-parenthesised ones, and I would like them to be closer to the same size, if not identical. They are too easily misread, for example, the parenthesised natural looks a LOT like a sharp on the page.
Odd. In my copy of the Jazz font, the larger parenthesized sharp (character 97, the "a") is nearly exactly the same size as the standard sharp (character 35, the "#"). Possibly the actual accidentals (through the Special Tool), rather than the Doc Opts default, are defined as 91 (the "[").
They are close in size, but not close enough for me. When I resize the parenthesised sharp or flat to about 110%, they look about right to me. Even though they are both a little shorter and wider, at least they look as if they were drawn with the same pen. The bracketted natural, which is the biggest problem, needs about 115% enlargement to look right to me. I wish I could make that change permanently, as individual edits are out of the question for the kind of quick-turnaround stuff I do.
