Typing notes in text

Sometimes you might need to show note symbols in the middle of a run of
regular text. Sibelius makes this as easy as pie. Simply right-click during
input of most kinds of text (e.g. Technique text, Plain text, etc.) to see the
useful word menu, which contains a number of common musical symbols. Click on
the symbol you want to add to your text object, and in it goes. Notice that
most of the symbols also have a keyboard shortcut, and theyâ??re generally easy
to remember because they match the position on the Keypad window: for example,
a quarter note (crotchet) is Ctrl+4 (Windows) or Command-4.
The symbols come from a font called Opus Text, which is designed to be
interspersed with text. You can even use this font in other applications, like
Microsoft Word, should you need to put simple musical symbols in your documents.
