Re: Bravura Text ligatures

Sorry for not replying sooner!

Bravura itself has a very tall height because its metrics are set to avoid clipping the glyphs with the largest vertical extents on Windows, which are the up-stem and down-stem 1024th notes (with eight flags). You can’t reduce the height of this without causing glyphs that protrude beyond that extent from being clipped on some platforms and/or in some applications.

Bravura Text should have a more sane extent, because most of the glyphs are scaled down by a decent margin, plus the metrics are expressly designed to be compatible with other regular text fonts.

I have two questions.    When writing there is a blinking, what I call a print, cursor.   With Bravura (reg) this cursor is quite wide and controls the spacing between the staffs.   I have tried different things in OS/2>Metric of the font software; this is where I thought it would be control.  Can this cursor be made smaller?     Bravura Text ligatures, that raises and lower the notes, will not write above or below this cursor this cursor.   And is there a way to write outside of this cursor.
I am using OpenOffice and LibreOffice; I can not get Word to work well.    Is there a better word presser use that works with Bravura Text.
Thank you,
