    Does anyone use this regularly to typeset things? I am using it currently to set the english LoTH Antiphons, Psalms, and Responsories to the melodies (more or less) found in the Antiphonale Romanum II.

    But I am having a problem on mac. Currently option-shift-k is supposedly a custos on the top line of the 4 line staff, but on a mac that same key sequence is built into the operating system to produce the apple logo: ....

    Has anyone found a way around this crap?

    Looking forward to hearing from someone on this!!

    I've never used the Gregorian fonts but on OSX that problem affects the Melody fonts too which I have used much. Also it would sometimes change from release to release without warning.

    The work around I use is the Character Viewer. I put favorites there whose Meinrad key combination is wrong, and select them from there instead when I need them. You might need the Font Book to find the characters you want in the first place. Apple has rearranged some of the character and font UI details, over the years.
