For this project, I created a concert program for my upcoming spring 2020 concert. On the program you will find different fonts used, colors, and formats. I also used shortcuts to create "special characters." Enjoy!
Here are some helpful shortcuts for adding special characters on a MacBook:
- Enya as in mañana. Type Option-n and then type n.
- Acute accent as in Gabriel Fauré. Option-e then any vowel.
- Grave accent as in the French très. Option-tilde then any vowel.
- Umlaut or dieresis as in Schütz. Option-u then any vowel.
- Circumflex as in the French pâte. Option-i then any vowel.
- Cedilla as in the French garçon. Option-c.
- Inverted exclamation point as in ¡Olé! Option-1
- Inverted question mark as in ¿Qué pasa? Option-shift-?
- Curly double quotes “ and ” are Option-[ and Option-shift-[
- Curly single quotes ‘ and ’ are Option-] and Option-shift-]
- Angle quotes «» (aka Guillemets) are Option-\ and Option-shift-\
- Sharp S (aka eszett) as in the German word Straße (street)
- The copyright symbol © is easy. Type option-g.
- The registered trademark symbol ® is also easy. Type option-r.
- The bullet symbol • is option-8.
- The degree symbol ° is option-shift-8.
- The checkmark (the math radical sign) √ is option-v in standard Mac fonts.
- The haček (like the r as in Dvořak) can be made using the Mac’s Extended Keyboard. Type option-v then the r or any other letter.
