Is there a music notes or music symbols font in Pages?

I could swear I passed by one a while back. I actually need it now and cannot remember the name of the font!

Character information for Western music can be input through the Apple Character Palette. Western music is included in ISO-IEC 10646-Universal Character Set. The proposal was submitted by Perry Roland of the Library of the University of Virginia which is also home to the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI).
There are some glyphs for Western music in the Apple Symbol font. Setting sheet music may be another matter. In part a richer font would be needed, and in part a richer positioning system than a plain typographic one would be needed. Perhaps if you want more than a symbol or two inserted in a line of type, the Music Encoding Initiative may provide a start?

  • No symbol font in pages

    I am having a strange font problem in Pages (1.0.1). When I try to use the symbol font in Pages, I get a font that looks like Times. If I go to the Font Book App, Symbol font looks like symbol font, and I can use Symbol in Word 2004, so I have the font in my system. Anyone have any ideas?

    Test 1. Type with Symbol. Highlight the text and
    change font to Times. The text becomes Latin.
    Ok, Latin codepoints, it's using the old Symbol mapping.
    Test 2. Type with Times and Greek keyboard. (That
    works fine.) Change font to Symbol. Change back to
    Times. It stays Greek all the time. (Visually
    identical to Test 1.)
    OK, Greek codepoints, it's probably using a second, Unicode cmap in Symbol (or a second, Unicode Symbol font).
    Test 3. Type α with Symbol. In Character Palette,
    select "Show Character Selected in Application". You
    get unicode character F061 which is in the Private
    Use Area.
    Interesting! Part of the hack I imagine.
    Test 4. Type α using Symbol. Change to Times, so it
    becomes Latin a. Change back to Symbol. In Character
    Palette, select "Show Character Selected in
    Application". You get unicode character 0061 (a).
    (Visually it looks exactly the same as in Test 3.)
    Hack disrupted?
    Test 5. Type α using Symbol. Copy and Paste into
    TextEdit. TextEdit displays the "Private Use" symbol
    used when no glyph is present. Character Palette
    gives F061 as in Test 3.
    Conclusion: It's a hack.
    Agreed.

  • Using Symbol Font in Pages/Keynote etc.

    Here is a strange problem: Whenever I want to insert a greek character from Symbol font Pages (09 as well as 08, and Keynote ...) replaces it by some standard font (probably Helvetica). In effect, Symbol is not available. If I want to write a simple formula containig a greek character (as e.g a small beta) I have to use Mathtype or copy and paste from word. Good old Appleworks also works fine with Symbol font.
    Can anybody help?? What am I doing wrong???

    Using the character pallette or activating the greek keyboard will of course do. It seems an awkwardly labourious way to me, though. If I understand you correctly there is no other way. Why would symbol font (which is not greek but symbol!) not work in the same way as e.g. Wingdings (Zapf Dingbats behaves just as symbol, though)? I Don't care for Unicode, but this, I think, is unfortunate.
    It is the other way around - the way monotonic Greek and mathematics are drawn in Adobe PostScript is a disaster -:). It helps to read Inside Macintosh: Text, published in 1993, and the PostScript Language Reference Manual, first and second version.
    How was monotonic Greek and mathematics drawn on the Apple LaserWriter in 1985? Well, it was drawn by depicting the glyphs for monotonic Greek and mathematics in the built-in Adobe Symbol font program dictionary onto Apple Roman.
    Adobe PostScript provides two procedures to get from characters to glyphs, StandardEncoding and FontSpecific encoding. The latter encoding vector is used when the Adobe PostScript configurable name space that replaces a character set is used to overrule the operating system character set.
    If you were typing monotonic Greek because you wanted to type Greek, and not because you wanted to type mathematics, you were in the ditch with this hack since the hack broke spelling, sorting and searching which are processes that are predicted on character codes.
    Apple Royal, now Apple Advanced Typography, was a project that took two directions to address the problem of drawing to the display and the printer.
    First, the CMAP Character Map was intended to include the characters for the writing systems of world scripts.
    Second, the layout logic to map from characters to glyphs was intended to provide evaluatable appearances for stylistic alternates such as small capitals, superscripts, subscripts and ligatures.
    Adobe PostScript is a one-to-one mapping model that by definition is incapable of protecting the source character string when drawing fine typography.
    You may rest assured that the issue of interactive input methods is on the agenda for computer manufacturers. For instance, Microsoft failed in a bid to acquire Swiss keyboard maker Logitech in 2008.

  • Is there a way to permanently set a font in pages?

    The default font in pages is Helvetica.  Every time I start a new document, I have to change it to Times New Roman.  Is there a way to permanently set the font as Times New Roman so that I do not have to do it every time.  Thanks.

    You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. Insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them.
    Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

  • VOICE AND MUSIC NOT BALANCED/MUSIC TOO LOUD--VOICE TOO LOW

    My very new HP Profile desktop with almost all the bells and whistles runs Vista Home Premium 64-bit with 4 GB RAM and a 2 MHZ chip.
    Most of the time -- 90 out of 100 playbacks -- the voice volume is much lower than that of the music, distorted to the point that I can't raise the volume too much because I'll overwhelm myself with music volume just to get voice louder :((
    I do not have an internal sound card and recently unsuccessfully experimented with an external Creative Labs X-Fi Go USB setup...same problem. So it's either my HP hardware or the iTunes app software.
    Anyone help please??
    THANK YOU!!!

  • When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
    This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
    (td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
    **I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

    Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
    What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
    "How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
    <b>**********Solution*********</b>
    Download the file:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
    Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
    Install the font that was downloaded.
    <b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
    I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

  • Symbol font not displayed correctly in WebHelp output

    I have TCS 2. I have a character format that uses the Symbol font. It displays correctly in FM and in the RH Design Editor. But in the WebHelp output, the Symbol font displays as Arial. What did I do wrong?

    Hi,
    What browser are you using? Most probably, your browser does not support the symbol font out of the box and therefore defaults back to Arial. My guess is that it will work on IE, but not on other browsers. This is because Symbol isn't a default web font.
    To overcome this, you must use the @font-face rule in your css and provide the font file as a baggage file in your project. For more info on @font-face, see: http://www.font-face.com/.

  • MathType and Symbol fonts on Mac

    I'm running MathType 6.0a, InDesign CS4 6.03 on Mac OSX 10.5.7
    There's a known issue with the Symbol font, but I can seem to get it to show up in InDesign or illustrator (It's fine in Word), though my system only shows one version of symbol, and it looks to be the correct one (stored in Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts)
    MathType recommends: (http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/TSN47.htm)
    What causes this problem
    The MathType installer moves the Symbol font suitcase into a folder that it creates called "Fonts (Disabled)" during installation to ensure that your system does not use it.
    When you upgrade your version of the Macintosh Operating System, reinstall Microsoft Office, or apply a patch to or invoke a "First Run" of Microsoft Office, these programs check your Fonts folder for the Symbol font suitcase. Since the Symbol font suitcase has been moved out of your Fonts folder, they install a Symbol font suitcase into your Fonts folder.
    Some users, because they do not see a Symbol font suitcase in their Fonts folder, place a copy there, possible moving the Symbol font suitcase from "Fonts (Disabled)" back into their Fonts folder.
    The best way to avoid receiving this error message is to manually remove the Symbol font suitcase from the Fonts folder in your System folder after upgrading Mac OS, or reinstalling, applying a patch to, or invoking a "First Run" of  Microsoft Office or one of its components.
    This worked for my home computer, but isn't working on my work computer (where I really need it).
    I've also tried repairing permissions as per, http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn126.htm
    I run FontExplorer (the old free version), but it's useless for dealing with system fonts.
    Does anyone know anything else I can try?

    You may want to rerun in FEX > Tools > Clean System Font Folder… on the chance that your evil computer put it back.
    Que the Indd Secret Site:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/removing-nonessential-system-fonts-in-leopard.php
    Apple says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1642
    Anything other than:
    Monaco.dfont
    LucidaGrande.dfont
    LastResort.dfont
    Keyboard.dfont
    Geneva.dfont
    and a working copy of Helvetica (any brand will do and only then assuming you need Photoshop), will get you where you need in terms of fonts. Every other font in your system is wholly optionally and I personally let FEX manage anything that isn't the above five fonts, think anyone who doesn't is making a mistake.
    Short version. Delete every copy of Symbol and run every command under the Tools menu of FEX, throw two reboots in the machine and hope for the best.

  • Is there a way to download additional fonts into Pages? If so, where can I find them?

    I was wondering if there was a way to add new fonts to Pages. I recently purchased a new iMac that came standard with Pages. I'm resisting the urge to install Microsoft Word as I prefer Pages in many ways. However, I'm frustrated that I can't use/find any unique fonts to add to Pages like I can do with Microsoft Word. I create documents that I sell online and would love to be able to only use Pages for this purpose. Instead I find myself having to reformat documents in Word just to get the font I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    Go to the App Store and type Fonts into the Search bar. You will see a large array of fonts you can download. Many of them are free. I downloaded the MacFonts Holiday fonts last year, and they show up anywhere I have a font dropdown.
    With any of the MacFonts, you just download it, then follow the instructions for moving them into your FontBook app.
    Cheers,

    The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?

  • Hard drive on my MacBook, iTunes was not backed up. Purchases were recovered, but missing music is trapped on other devices (iPad, iPod & iPhone). Is there a way to transfer music from these devices (esp. iPhone & iPad) to MacBook?

    I had to replace my hard drive on my MacBook and iTunes was not backed up. All of our purchases were recovered, but we are missing music that we now have only on other devices (iPad, iPod and iPhone). Is there a way to recover music from these devices? Also, the missing music on the MacBook that is on the iPhone is greyed out so I can't play it. What's the deal? How can I change that?
    BTW- I am going to purchase an external hard drive to make sure this never happens again. I'm am also discovering other missing very valuable data. I'm considering investing in iMatch, too.

    Try PhoneView: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    iTunes Match is not a backup strategy. Do not rely upon it for disaster recovery. For that you need to use Time Machine or "clone" software.

    itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    Quit the app and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
