I use Noteworthy Composer to write my songs, and it meets nearly all my needs beautifully. I love the ease with which I can adjust the look of the printed score, with fonts and margins and staff sizes, and the like.

.... But When I try to "Copy" it, so that I can insert the score into a word processor document (Occassionally, I've wanted to write songs for my fictional characters to sing) either as a Windows clipboard file or a .wmf file, it comes out looking "sloppy" -- text too small to read clearly, with some lines of the staves being extra fat, and the "dot" part of the notes disconnected from their verticals.

So I thought I'd just print the song to my .pdf writer, instead of my physical printer, and insert the pdf file into my document, and then things got really wierd looking.

The g-clef came out as an a. The quarter notes were k's, and the eighth notes came out looking something like k^s.

So that got me wondering: is there a special computer font for musical notation, so that my .pdf writer and reader would know what to do with that strange alien language?

Thanks in advance.... sign me:
