For some weird reason, this piece I am editing does not have the option of a separate number font in Tempo Alterations expressions, though it is there in Tempo Marks. How do I add it in the Category Designer window for Tempo Alterations?

Thanks,

Mark

When creating a tempo alteration, you can choose to uncheck the option to use the category fonts, thus allowing you to use whatever font you want.

Thanks. I'll do that.

But is there no way to add that third font in there? It seems odd to me, because in my own files, it's already set up with three fonts in a row, exactly the same as the Tempo Marks category is: 1. the font for the words, like Allegro molto, 2. the font for the note; 3. the font for the number.

But in this file, a piece I am editing for someone else, there is no third font option there at all. That seems weird to me.

You might be able to edit the Category and add it there.

Edit: I just checked and that option is not available in the Category.

Do you have a file that we can see where the Tempo alterations Category has the Number Font option?
