Sorry, Don't know what happened to the blank message.

This is what it should have said :-



Thanks David for your solution!  And others for your interest.

I seem to remember, years ago, knowing a way to change this font. Maybe I should email MM. This was my first foray into 2007 - had to be done by Monday. Used Special tools in the end. The individual part names was a nuisance. I think there has been discussion about this but I didn't take it in at the time so had to change them each time.

Changing noteheads with Mass mover,
I get to select from Maestro font.
How do I change this to Maestro perc.?


Here is one way I just worked out:

To do this you need to use a staff style -- you'll need to define a new style and under Independent Elements put a check next to Notehead Font and click the Select button and then change to the notehead font you wish to use (Maestro Percussion, in your example). Then assign that staff style to the measures you wish to change.

Then when you go to the MassEdit, Change, Noteheads dialog you'll still be shown the Maestro font character set so you'll need to know which slot in Maestro Percussion holds the notehead you wish to use. Simply select the appropriate character slot (ignore what the program shows you, which is why you need to know in advance which slot holds the character you wish to use) and when you click OK you'll be returned to the staff with the appropriate character for the notehead change.

Convoluted? you bet! Any different from what we would have to do in Fin2006? not that I can see.

Why can't we simply change to a different font from within the MassEdit/Change/Noteheads dialog? Goodness only knows.
