Editing SCORE (software) (section)

=== Editing text ===

In version 1 PostScript text fonts were not used for printing, only the stick-figure characters used within the programme and an internal version of the [[Bodoni]] typeface, and text could only be edited by altering the ASCII codes for each character individually within the CODE16 parameters.<ref name="SCORE1">{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=Leland |title=SCORE Reference Manual |date=1987 |publisher=Passport Designs |page=CD16-1}}</ref>  Version 2 allowed the use of PostScript Type 1 fonts and provided a more convenient method of editing text, but unfortunately only a subset of the glyphs within the chosen font could be used by SCORE.<ref name="holab"/>  Different fonts were selected by using an [[escape sequence]] at the start of the text. Escape codes _00 to _34 selected the Base 35 fonts of the Adobe [[PostScript fonts#PostScript Level 2|PostScript Level 2]] font set, and codes _35 to _89 could be assigned by the user.  Some characters not available on a standard keyboard were obtained by using another escape sequence, for example:<ref name="SCORE3"/>

To set the text "''Fête-Dieu à Séville'' by Isaac '''Albéniz'''" in variants of [[Times New Roman#Linotype design (Times Roman)|Times Roman]] would require the sequence

<code>
_02F^^ete-Dieu >>a S<<eville _00by Isaac _01Alb<<eniz
</code>

where
{|
| {{code|_02}} || Times Italic
|-
| {{code|^^e}} || ê (e [[circumflex]])
|-
| {{code|>>a}} || à (a [[Grave accent|grave]])
|-
| {{code|<<e}} || é (e [[Acute accent|acute]])
|-
| {{code|_00}} || Times Roman
|-
| {{code|_01}} || Times Bold
|}

It was only possible to use glyphs other than those already escaped within SCORE by manually editing the font files, re-encoding SCORE's font templates (a third-party utility called AFM2PSC was written to facilitate this), or editing the final EPS file.
