Re: Getting glyphs.

[Doug Laidlaw]

Thanks.  The version of Noteedit I have is 0.8 which according to the Noteedit 
Web site, is the latest stable release.    I have just downloaded and 
installed the latest Release Candidate, which uses the version of Lilypond 
that I already have (2.6.3.)

Knowing where to find things was my problem.  I didn't think of looking under 
"Text" for a segno, because it is a direction to the player.

I play clarinet, and I have just been asked to resume playing.  I need to 
write out my own parts and transpose them (a tone up.)  I am used to a GUI, 
and find the text-only interface of Lilypond a bit off-putting, but I am able 
to correct Noteedit's mistakes by editing in Lilypond.

Doug.
