Finale Copyist Text font

The Finale Copyist Text font is similar to the Broadway Copyist font but lighter-weight and includes lower-case characters. This font was inspired but the golden era of handwritten Broadway scores. It emulates the look and feel of natural felt-tip print handwriting. To enter a character, hold the ALT key while using the numpad to enter the number combination listed in order. The numbers do not need to be held like the ALT key. When the ALT key is released, the character appears. All of these characters can also be selected by using Text > Font to choose the desired font and Text > Inserts > Symbol to open the Symbol Selection dialog box.
