I’ve created a font for music notation that includes some color glyphs, which give the appearance of erasing the staff lines.
The problem is that, while it appears properly in the notation software (Dorico), when I export the PDF, it does not display the color correctly. I have tried it in Acrobat Pro.
The top is what I get in the PDF, the bottom is what I get in the notation program, which is want I want.
Is there something I’m doing wrong?
As a further test to make sure that I was exporting in color correctly, here is a “color” PDF exported from Dorico, with a colored notehead displaying correctly. So Dorico is placing the notehead in front of the staff line. All I can think is that my font is not properly set up with the COLR property.
I just checked it in Word. It works fine, and the exported PDF correctly displays a white interior of the notehead:
I suspect the colored notehead is just from a plain monochrome font where they set the font color.
Can you explain what you mean? When I made the colored glyph, I think I set it up correctly. Could you take a look at it in the attached font file and make sure I did it correctly?
