| + | Only the text strings that support formatting are stored as Enigma strings in Finale. For example: a Staff name is an Enigma string, a Bookmark name is not. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Examples ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Full Enigma string might look like this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | | ''^fontMus(Font0,0)^size(24)^nfx(0)F'' | "mf" (mezzoforte) text expression marking using the category's default font name. | | ||
| + | | ''^fontTxt(Times New Roman,4096)^size(12)^nfx(2)subito ^fontMus(Font0,0)^size(24)^nfx(0)p'' | "subito p" text expression (with font change before "p") | | ||
| + | | ''^font(Times New Roman,4096)^size(12)^nfx(0)^title()'' | A text with a "title" text insert. | | ||
| + | ===== Text Storage ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enigma strings are saved to different text pools depending on the object data that requires the string. Text blocks use a different storage pool compared to text expressions, for example. | ||
