To
change the music font of noteheads on a staff by staff basis
To use Tamburo, Maestro Perc, or Jazz Perc
for your percussion notation, assign it as the notehead font in each staff
or as the document’s default notehead font. Then, take advantage of Finale’s
built-in percussion libraries or create one of your own, so that notes
you enter on a percussion staff automatically assign themselves to appropriate
lines or spaces with the correct noteheads. For details, see Percussion.
- Click the Staff Tool .
- Double-click the staff. The Staff Attributes
dialog box appears.
- Click the Notehead Font checkbox if it is not
already selected.
- Click Select and choose the new font.
- Click OK twice. Your new font is now
being used for noteheads while other elements such as flags and clefs
are taken from the default music font(s).
