Making music notation by using Word's EQ field code skillfully

If we want to input and print their own music notation, hands and no special notation software and special font, how to do? In fact, we can directly in the Word software through the EQ field code to make music notation, from a single melody to the voice of the Voice can be produced, copy, modify is also very convenient.

　　Start the EQ field and call out the notes.

"EQ Field" is the scientific formula of Word editing function, can produce many complex mathematical formulas, here used in the EQ domain of many switches in two: stacking switch and up and down switch.

First look at the 16-note "6" with two bass points. Its EQ field code is "{eq/o (6,/s/do10),/s/do14 (?),/s/do5 (-),/s/do7 (-))}".

The basic structure of this code is "{eq/o ()}", which can be described as "{domain name + switch}". "EQ" is a scientific formula domain name, "/O ()" is called a switch to "/" to the beginning, to "()" End, "()" to enter the contents of the switch, the Middle "o" and other English letters for the switch name. The "6" in Figure 1 is the name of the base element, followed by "/s/do10 (?)" and the "/s/do5 (-)" switch represents the element "?", "-" The following superscript form is superimposed on the basic element "6", "Do" is "down" shorthand, the number "10" and "5" is the subscript away from the horizontal position (can be changed), equal to "6" added two bass point and two time line; If you need to add a treble point, change "do" to "up" and change the number on the superscript. Need to reduce the high or low point or time line, directly delete the corresponding up and down standard switch. Note that between the switches used when stacking, to be separated by commas, the numbers, letters, and punctuation in the switch are half-width, with only one half of the space between the domain name and the basic switch, and no gap between each of the remaining switches; The English letters are case-insensitive.

　　How do i insert and edit EQ field codes ? Quite simply, in Word's Insert menu, select field, and in the dialog box, in categories, select Equation and formula. Click "EQ" in the "domain" below and click "Field code" on the lower left, then click on "Options" to add them to the field code column by double-clicking the desired switch name. Enter or modify the field code directly in this column, and then press OK to insert a section of the EQ field code at the page cursor position (see Figure 2). Enter the above code directly on the word page is invalid, you must first insert the above methods, and then modify the page to be effective. Right-click the field code, click "Toggle field Code" in the pop-up drop-down menu to switch it to a visual form, and then switch again to appear as a field code.

　　Now let's make the music.

The first step is to enter information such as the score title beat

In the upper center of the page, enter the name, subtitle, signature, number, speed and expression terms, songwriter, and other separation headings at the lower ends. For example, the EQ field code for the E-tone number is "{EQ 1=/s/up6 (b)/s/do0 (E)}", where "/s/up6 (b)" indicates that "B" is marked at a distance of 6, similarly, "/s/do0 (E)" indicates that "E" is marked at a distance of 0. 44 beat plus 42 in the EQ field code is "{eq/f (4,4)} {eq/f (2,4)}", where "/f ()" is the fractional switch, "/F (4,4)", "/f (2,4)" "is four-fourths, two-fourths meaning." "74 pats per minute affectionately" how to show more vividly? You can use the ellipse and rectangle in the AutoShape to flatten the four-note in a staff, and then enter "= 74". Author information can be entered in text or stylistic boxes.

The second step is to enter notes and other symbols

Quarter note time value than its long note, directly in the page input can be added to the line with the "view → toolbar → symbol bar" in the minus sign inserted. Quavers a note with a shorter time value than it does, use the EQ field input as described above. The bar line is entered directly with the "/Key +shift key". Connect with "AutoShape → basic shape → arc" change shape after the input, you can also use the "crescent shape" by rotation, change fine and fill with black after the input. The repetition number and the Terminator line are best made with graphical tools. The "house number" uses the AutoShape → basic shape → left and right bracket to rotate, shape, and then enter a small number with a text box to insert. The door is enclosed in the right and left brackets. When you drag or move the mouse, press CTRL or ALT key to fine-tune the selected symbol.

Step three Insert Lyrics

Enter directly below the note, to pay attention to the lyrics and notes can not be misplaced.

Fourth Step page Decoration

According to personal preferences, respectively, the font, font size, color, line spacing and other aspects of the decoration, you can also note the field code in the high and low points and the spacing of the line to make appropriate adjustments, so that the overall appearance of the spectrum surface coordination, beautiful.

The fifth step of the music output: Printable output to the paper, or by capturing the software to intercept the bitmap inserted into the relevant documents, but also virtual printing to the graphics software to do further processing, the finished product in vector form output, can be used for professional publishing.

　　Tips for improving the speed of music input

* First Use the EQ field input all types of notes, rests, the more complete the better, and the use of Office drawing function, directly in Word to make other musical symbols, stacked by category, and saved as a Word template, so that each time the spectrum of the direct copy, paste use.

* Use the "macro" function to make a variety of musical symbols (such as notes, rests, lines, extensions, end lines, repeated numbers, vibrato, etc.) into a different button, the focus on the word page, which symbol, a little more quickly.
