About the program free EDITOR PSALTIC BZH BZHr version

EDITOR PSALTIC is free.

Resolution >=800x600, but it may also work at 1024x768.

Create EDITOR PSALTIC BZ and microsoft word shortcuts on desktop or , even better, add them in Quick Launch for easier access.

I have windows xp sp2 but the program runs on windows 2000 sp4 version english WITH
an Office 2003 english version , and thus on Microsoft word 2003 (in word 2002, maybe even 2000 and 97, as well) 

Unzip everyhting into one file.

Copy all the fonts into the Windows fonts foles (Start, Configuration, Fonts, files = install new font, search for the file you just unzipped everything into, OK.. fonts will be installed.)



Then open the BZH Psaltic Editor.exe (this is a first version, and we're still in the improvement phase), click on the Word window, then click on the ison neume. Is it inserted in document?
If yes, all is OK.


If  the BZH Psaltic Editor does not insert neumes with the desired font size (i.e. 21) then select the previously inserted ison sign in the document, change to the desired font size,  and continue cliciking on the the next signs.

If you want to pass to the next row (lyrics line) then change to the corresponding  fonts and size (for exammple Arial size 12 ),  press enter on the keyboard Enter (return) and type the text.

If you wish to enter the lyrics text imediately in row with psaltic signs, then change fonts and size (for example Arial size 12 ), and write, type the text from the keyboard.


-----------------

You may also input psaltic neumes into Finale Notepad.

Pretend tha you are wirting a song of fixed measure.

Then, create a lyrics line, and type in your psaltic neumes.

To do this, type in "a" near square 2.  Adjust the height of your lyrics line.

------------------
You may change the dispostion of the table, as well as the neumes.

First lodify the tables image.

Then capture it  in full screen mode.

Be careful so as NOT to modify the pixes.


Save under bz bmp!
Change the corresponding codes in the "BZcoduri" text file.

in word type a then pres simultaneously Alt+X:  you'll obtain the corresponding unicode value. Exemple 0022 for " and 0027 for '
and viceversa.
I added spaces between neumes, because this is important if you want  the "Justify" macro to work. Spaces are small.  







FIRST addition:

open microsoft word,
clicks:
Tools

Customise

Options

here:

Bifeaza (mark,score) Always show full menu!
