Sonic Scores has released v5.2.0 updates for Overture and Score Writer.
Enhancements:
- Improved dragging symbols in Active (extracted) parts. The following symbols can be dragged and have their new positions saved: Dynamics, hairpins, guitar chords, ties, slurs, text, lyrics, and symbols created with Graphic tool.
- Improved font handling when switching between Aloisen, Groove, and Bravura. Any changes while switched are retained.
- Added ability to insert elision characters in lyrics. These are sometimes used in Spanish lyrics. Simply enter a '^' character and it will be replaced by a small tie on the score.
- Changed how the slur note percentage value is used. Values 100 and below are considered a percentage of the total duration to the next note. Any value above 100 is used to add a number of clocks (value - 100) to the total duration up to the next note. This was changed ft handle situations where long notes that were slurred to a short notes and the slur note percentage increased the long note too far beyond the short note.
- There is now a Font Settings button in the Layout panel Music font area. This lets you set various fonts for each music font style and have them applied to the score.
- Improved Guitar frame symbol size and spacing.
- Improved spacing between dynamics and hairpins for hairpins that include dynamics at either end.
- Added punch in/out. Simply select the punch in measure by double clicking it or select a range by of measures double clicking the first measure and then shift double click the last measure. Note: Punch in/out only works on entire measures at this time.
