Add Text #3

Open Aphexus opened 6 years ago

Aphexus commented 6 years ago

It would be nice if one can add text(best I can see is one can do lines and rectangles). Such as using chord symbols, notes, etc.

It would need to allow for font sizes and possibly super and sub scripts(e.g., A^7b9m would be an Am7 with a b9, the ^ raises to a super script and the lowers down a level).

The intention was to delegate anything more complicated than simple lines or rectangles to a dedicated application (ex: Inkscape or some other SVG editor) that has full support for arbitrary annotations. Inkscape is open source, cross platform and supported by VirtMus.

Yes, but simple text should be doable and is pretty useful to have.

Being able to quickly add a text note or chord symbol rather than opening an external editor saves quite a bit of time unless no reloading has to be done(I'd imagine opening in an external editor requires reloading files).

Surely it shouldn't be much to also add a text graphic that can go along with the lines and rectangles? Not too much extra code.
