Music Fonts dialog

• You can open the Music Fonts dialog by choosing Library > Music Fonts.

The Music Fonts dialog contains all available SMuFL fonts you have installed on your computer that have the appropriate metadata for Dorico SE to recognize them. By default, Dorico SE comes with the following SMuFL-compliant fonts:

• Bravura: The default music font, inspired by traditional classical music engraving.

• Petaluma: Handwritten music font style, similar to the traditional style used for jazz music.

Changing the music font used in the Music Fonts dialog changes the fonts used for notations, glyphs, and other items that are not text, such as clefs, dynamics, and bold tuplet numbers/ratios.

The Music Fonts dialog also contains the following options:

Update text fonts when changing music fonts

Allows you to include/exclude text fonts when changing the music font. For example, deactivating this option allows you to change the appearance of notes and notations without affecting the appearance of flow titles and staff labels.

• For the Bravura music font, the equivalent text font is Academico.

• For the Petaluma music font, the equivalent text font is Petaluma Script.

Use font’s recommended engraving options

Allows you to import the default settings that come with the font.
