Graphics

With the Graphics tool you can place graphics into any PrintMusic document. PrintMusic supports the following graphics formats for import.

• EPS
• TIFF
• JPEG
• PNG
• BMP
• GIF

Pages or selections of music can be exported from PrintMusic in .JPG format.

Graphics placed in Scroll View and Page View are assigned differently. PrintMusic always assigns a graphic to a measure if you are in Scroll View when the graphic is placed. To place a page-assigned graphic, you must be in Page View. Both page- and measure-assigned graphics can be edited and repositioned in Page View. However, page-assigned graphics do not appear in Scroll View.

To export a selected region of music as a graphic

1. Click the Graphics tool . The Graphics menu appears.
2. Double-click and drag (double-click, holding down the mouse button on the second click) to enclose the area you want to export as a graphic. It's a bit touchy. If it doesn't work the first time, try it again keeping the mouse as still as possible before dragging. The selection will stick if done properly.
3. From the Graphics menu, choose Export Selection. The Export Selection dialog box appears.
4. Enter the file’s title in the text box and click Save.

1. Choose Page View from the View menu.
2. Click the Graphics tool . The Graphics menu appears.
3. Choose Export Current Page from the Graphics menu. The Save JPG dialog box appears.
4. Name the file and click Save.
