In page header, footer, text free object, the
following patterns are replaced by:
- $$: the $ character
- $A: document creation date with standard
display
- $A[xxx]: document creation date with custom

current language
- $D[xxx]: current date with custom display, in

- $F: file name
- $H: current time
- $L: is replaced
by the document lyrics text. This is especially

the staff.
$L,n extracts only the staff line3 of index n.
$L,m1-m2 extracts only the text from specified

display the lyrics from played measures 1 to 25 of
the "Melody" staff.
- $M: total duration of the music, in mm:ss
format
- $N: number of pages
- $Oxxx: value to add to the real page number.
If you split a music piece into several files,
you can print them with consecutive page
numbers.
- $P: page number
- $Q: page number, only if there are at least
two pages.
- $R: document remarks
- $S: frame text
- $T: document title
- $U: document change date with standard display,
in current language
- $U[xxx]: document change date with custom
display, in current language
- $V: view name
- $VN: number of pages in the view
- $VP: page number in the view
- $Wxxx: clickable link to a Web address (URL)
- $Y: document creation year
The date custom display follow [xxx] where xxxx can
include:
$A complete day name
$a abbreviated day name
$e day index in the month (01-31)
$B complete month name
$b abbreviated month name
$m month index (01-12)
$H hour (00-23)
$M minute (00-59)
$S second (00-59)
$Y year with 4 digits
$y year with 2 digits
When displaying a text object, some special music
characters can be
inserted within the string.
This lets you create rhythmic patterns, or insert
accidental
symbols into standard text.
In the text, insert the sequence $(xxxxx), where
"xxxxx" is one of the
commands described below.
For example: "CM$(n)7" will display a natural symbol
inside a CM7 chord
name.
Here is how a command can be built.
Notes written between brackets [] are beamed
together.
Notes have to be separated by "+" or a space if they
are
independent, by an underscore _ if they are tied
together. The '/' separator unbeam notes within a
triplet.
Notes are always displayed stem up.
- You can add:
d (double-flat)
b (flat)
# (sharp)
x(double-sharp)
n (natural)
- then, if necessary:
R if the note is a rest
- then the note length:
1 whole note
2 half note
4 quarter note
etc
- then, if necessary:
. (dotted)
.. (double dotted)
- then, if necessary, a simple tuplet mark:
:3 simple triplet
:6 simple sextolet
etc
or a complex tuplet mark:
:3:2 for a 3:2 triplet
:6:4 for a sextolet drawn 6:4
Some commands can be inserted. They will be active
from their position
until the end of the command line.
Size change:
S0 (small)
S1 (medium)
S2 (standard)
S3 (big)
Notes flags displayed as beam:
B
Color change:
Cxxxxxx (xxxxxx = color RGB in
hexadecimal)
Symbol spacing:
Lx (x = extra spacing from -9 to
9)
Symbol vertical shift:
Vx (x = positive or negative
offset)
Note head shape:
Hx (x = note shape from A
to Z)
