Before I go bald pulling my hair out, I might as well ask. Right now I'm setting an antiphon in Meinrad and the episemas are refusing to appear. I know they have to be entered prior to the note. I'm holding down the Alt key as directed. Still nothing.
mjb - I have to hit the space bar after any value added holding the "alt" key. So if you enter [alt(hold)] [0] [2] [3] [5] [alt (release)] [spacebar] [f] you should get an episma'd punctum on the second line.
I only used the test version briefly, primarily because I needed the instructions. Also it takes a combination of three font sets, Meinrad A, B, and C to do everything you might run across.
I've not used the Test Font, but I haven't found anything (yet) that I can't do with the three font sets mjb speaks of. I don't often need B and C, but they're there when I do. It becomes pretty intuitive after you've worked with it for a while, but I also agree that the instructions guide is always on standby! I really do recommend it.
I also have a problem with the fonts in that, when emailing a document using the fonts to another machine, even though the recipient machine also has the fonts, the document comes out as nonsense and the chant is lost. Any suggestions anyone? Nick
