What are
the limitations?
Our fonts are simply "fonts".
You can't write melodies,
accompaniments,
or
orchestrations with our fonts.
There are already great music notation
programs available for that purpose.
Also, since it's ONLY a font, there wasn't room on the keyboard for
every single music symbol known to
man, so there are a lot of
less frequently used symbols which couldn't be included.
Examples
of symbols not included:
* Notes more than 2 ledger lines above or below the staff.
* Every C clef. With our new upgrade we
now have an alto and tenor clef
and a C clef not displayed on a staff.
* Stems going down: Our rhythmic values are
only "stems up".
However,
with clever use of text boxes and word-processor options, you can
"flip" & "rotate" text items to get stems that go down.
*
Trills. There are so many it would take almost
an entire keyboard just for trills alone!
We
apologize for omissions which are basically "instrument specific".
Please know that we were limited by the number
of keys on the
keyboard as to how many symbols we
could include.
StaffWriter was created specifically to make easier
the basic theory needs
of everyday teaching, from
pre-school through college-- so, unless you
need to compose
actual musical examples or have special
symbol
needs, StaffWriter may be all you need.
