Graphics
With the Graphics tool you can place graphics into any PrintMusic document. PrintMusic supports the following graphics formats for import.
- EPS
- TIFF
- JPEG
- PNG
- BMP
- GIF
Pages or selections of music can be exported from PrintMusic in .JPG format.
Graphics placed in Scroll View and Page
View are assigned differently. PrintMusic always assigns a graphic to a measure
if you are in Scroll View when the graphic is placed. To place a page-assigned
graphic, you must be in Page View. Both page- and measure-assigned graphics
can be edited and repositioned in Page View. However, page-assigned graphics
do not appear in Scroll View.
To export a selected region of music as a graphic
- Click the Graphics tool . The Graphics menu appears.
- Double-click and drag (double-click, holding down the mouse button on the second click) to enclose the area you want to export as a graphic. It's a bit touchy. If it doesn't work the first time, try it again keeping the mouse as still as possible before dragging. The selection will stick if done properly.
- From the Graphics menu, choose Export Selection. The Export Selection dialog box appears.
- Enter the file’s title in the text box and click Save.
To export full pages of music as graphics (Page View)
- Choose Page View from the View menu.
- Click the Graphics tool . The Graphics menu appears.
- Choose Export Current Page from the Graphics menu. The Save JPG dialog box appears.
- Name the file and click Save.
