3 In Roman Numerals Font

[Rosangela Pinkard]

WhenI annotate roman numerals in a score, I use the staff text option to create the roman numerals. But I just noticed that in the style pallet one of the text styles is a style called Roman Numeral Analysis, see:

I have now "augmented" the explanation. I think you'll find the system works very well in general, but unfortunately Mehegan deviates from the more common RNA conventions in a number of ways you'll need to explicitly work around. Some of his quirks are due to trying to combine traditional RNA with information that is not "functional" at all but instead relates to the jazz "color tones", but some are just quirks.

For example, the "x" is an invention is his as far as I can tell, and while I tried to support the most common usages use cases I could find, probably if you try to use it a lot you'll find places it get turned into a double sharp. To prevent it, precede the "x" by a backslash ("\"). Similarly, the inclusion of 7, 13, and 9 all in the same symbol seems a Mehegan-ism, normally 13 already implies all of those. So the parsing system is going to completely misunderstand that. To get the same look as what you have in your second measure, you'll need to use backslash to escape the "7", and you will need to add the superscripted versions of the other numerals and parentheses manually from the Special Characters palette (or add those characters to a custom palette of your own, not a bad idea if you go this route).

Roman numeral analysis is something rather different, and it is almost always written below the staff. But if you have some special reason to want to flip it above (or wish to put ordinary chord symbols below), pressing "X" will flip most markings between above and below the staff.

How do you plan to represent MMIV? Or, VIII for that matter. Gosh darn, this font has Roman Numerals at my finger tips. XI. There, I did it again. III.I IV I V IX II VI V III V VIII IX VII IX III II III VIII IV VI II VI IVThat's Pi (to 23 decimal places), except that Roman Numerals can't really be used for decimals.Dave

It is only 10 lines of code, but some are macros, making it difficult to extract for this message.The main technique is to do some calculations with the original number and the string "m2d5c2l5x2v5i". It is quite a clever algorithm.-dp-

Wasn't the reason Roman numerals were initially used for the copyright dates in movies to make it harder for the average viewer to work out when the film was made? I recall it was also supposed to have some relation to television (maybe making it harder for people to realise they were seeing a very old film on TV?), but though I've seen this sort of information repeated often, I'm still not sure if it's an urban myth.

I am not working on a project where roman numerals are used as part of an identifying label. I have no idea why. Anyway, I'd use the dedicated symbols if they existed. I normally use cronos, minion, myriad, and other common typefaces (not all in the same document).I didn't see them browsing through InDesign's glyph palette.

And the answer is: typing the letters is easier -- but, is the result the same?Aha! InDesign's glyph palette shows me that the result is the same; the numerals are sans serif. Mind you, the spacing is different. I guess the spacing doesn't matter if you only want to count from 1 to 12 with the occasional use of 50, 100, 500, and 1,000. Start using combinations and you're going to have spacing issues.InDesign's custom glyphs sets would make these pretty easy to access. But generally speaking, it seems to me, the numerals ought to be serifed. I'll often swith to a serif font if the need arises for Roman Numerals, even when the body is set in sans serif.Dave

I found the Lucida Grande sans-serif Roman Numerals using the Apple Character Palette. However it's not found in the "Roman" view, surprisingly enough! You have to use either the "Unicode" or "Glyph" view (the pop-up in the upper left corner of the Character Palette.The Unicode view has three tabbed sections: Unicode Blocks, Unicode Table, and Favorites. Select "Unicode Blocks". The Block with the Roman numerals is named "Number Forms" about halfway down the list. Then you should see the Roman Numerals.If you then select one of the Roman Numerals, then you can select the "Font Variation" drop-down menu. This will show *all* of your loaded fonts which have that particular character.Then if you select one of the font variations like for Lucida Grande Bold, then you can change the View to "Glyph". This shows the character of interest in the font you selected, along with other nearby characters. And if you "hover" over a character, you can see the Unicode, UTF8, and Character-ID numbers for that particular glyph. And then you can "Insert with Font" into whatever document you have open.Teach a man to fish, and eventually he'll find the sideways Latin Characters in Kozuka Mincho Std. ;)

The article displayed fine for me, they even used a couple of the Unicode Roman Numerals.And if I had 65,000 Unicode slots to fill, I wouldn't begrudge giving Roman numerals a small number of slots.

I have created two sections using the Numbering and Section option, one for front matter, in lower case roman numerals and the body text in regular numbers. My book is also divided into Parts (the larger sections of the book) Each Part has a separate page to start which is styled with a Paragraph style that is linked to the running header. So it goes Part, Chapter, subheading in the TOC, but only two sections in the numbering front matter and all the rest.

My problem is that when I use roman numerals to identify the Parts the running header treats them like text. So VI becomes Vi. It will work if I put a space between each II so I I works in the header, but V I I I is awkward looking.

Roman Numerals is a special kind of numerical notation that was earlier used by the Romans. The Roman numeral is an additive and subtractive system in which letters are used to denote certain base numbers and arbitrary numbers in the number system. An example of a roman numeral is XLVII which is equivalent to 47 in numeric form. Roman numerals are denoted using a different combination of symbols, that include the English alphabet. For example, 5 in roman numeral is denoted by V. It has wide applications in naming anything such as Class I, Class II, Class X, etc.

AI also has ingested and been pretrained on tons of books, documents, papers, a good fraction of human knowledge, so that it not only follows the form of an outline where sections are numbered in roman numerals, but can even answer about them.

Here are step-by-step instructions for a new single document. If you are using the master / sub-document facility (which the question you link to is asking about) then the process differs. The example provided by @mahfiaz is correct except that it uses upper case Roman numerals and my instructions use the lower case form.

Thank you Mahfiaz and Oweng for your answers. So I have kind of managed to do it, however when I insert a page break, it skip a page which although blank is numbered. Hence I have a blank a page after my first page, and one after my roman numerals still numbered.

Just delete empty lines before your page break or the already added page break which comes after. Page breaks can be assigned to tables and paragraphs as well (but not likely, you would know about it).

When Roman numerals are written largest to smallest from left to right, this indicates that the symbols are to be added together to create a larger number, e.g. VI = 6. However, when a smaller number is placed before a larger one, this indicates that the first number is to be subtracted from the one that follows, e.g. IV = 4.
