elision character kerning
Posted: Sat May 19, 2018 9:13 am
In setting Italian or Spanish lyrics, I need to use the elision symbol to connect two syllables connected by vowels. The Finale Lyrics font has this, but it should actually place slightly under each of the two syllables, leaving a minor gap between them:
As it is now, it pushes the syllables too far to the side, leaving a gap which is too wide and which also affects the music spacing negatively:
I've looked at the font annotation window under Preferences/Edit and it actually looks as though the bounding box should permit this kerning. I even changed the dimensions of the bounding box, creating a new .fan file for the Lyrics font, but the problem remains. Does anyone have a suggestion?
