Small Tempo Note Font

[rothersgit]

Adding a tempo marking results in the note font being too small

The workaround is to change to note (not the remaining text) font from Edwin to Leland

OS: Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601: SP 1), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.7.0.13003487230, revision: GitHub-Jojo-Schmitz-MuseScore-8feb7ab

Thanks (stems from https://musescore.org/en/node/374612#comment-1278275 ff.)

Other workaround: In Inspector Press "Reset Custom Formatting" (which resets the font to Edwin, that is the default for tempo texts, not Leland, but for the entire string, see also below)

The relevant score snippet is:

          <Tempo>
            <tempo>2</tempo>
            <followText>1</followText>
            <text><sym>metNoteQuarterUp</sym> = 120</text>
            </Tempo>

Seems that <sym>metNoteQuarterUp</sym> gets interpreted differently, gets a different font assigned?

Resetting font or custom formatting, replaces that <sym>metNoteQuarterUp</sym> with a Unicode glyph.

Seems to be a Windows 7 v Windows 10 issue here as well.

With "Reset Custom Formatting" in 3.7 and Windows 10 the workaround works fine however with 3.7 and Windows 7 I get this !

Might give another clue as to what's going on.

[Jojo-Schmitz]

Should depend on the font it resets to

[rothersgit]

In both cases it resets to Edwin.

[Jojo-Schmitz]

That is strange indeed, as it works fine here on Windows 11

[Jojo-Schmitz]

With that <sym>metNoteQuarterUp</sym> it follows the Musical Text Font from Format > Style > Score.

Leland Text is different between 3.6.2 (v 0.52) and 3.x (v 0.77), that might explain the difference, but is the same on 3.x and Mu4/master, which is rather strange, as it doesn't explain the difference at all.
Unless master uses the Musical Font rather than the Musical Text font here (or rather: derives the Musical Font to used from the setting for the Musical Text Font, as it changes with that setting)?
Mu4 does do similar things with dynamics (i.e. takes those from the Musical Font rather than the Musical Text Font, for their better centering, IIRC)

Tada! It is not "ScoreFont", as I put it in

MuseScore/libmscore/sym.cpp

Line 6588 in 116925b

QFont::insertSubstitution("ScoreFont", "Leland Text"); // alias for current Musical Text Font

but "ScoreText" as it is referred to in multiple other places

[Jojo-Schmitz]

Hmm, no, it isn't :-(
