Editing Bend Notes

I'd like to know if it is possible to edit the default bending notes. My company has just been using text notes up until now. I'd like to know if I can either make the up/down arrowheads more pronounced (solid if possible), or if it is possible to actualy change the arrows to the words Up and Down whilestill leaving the notesparametric.


I've got this covered because I have a set of mapkeys that create basic text notes that say "Bend Up/Down 90". However, by using this method I would have to add each note in manualy instead of just "show/hide"-ing them.
 
I did it! But i'm not telling you how

Anyway, if you ever feel sorry for us underworlders, please post the solution or I could start a new that thread and ask the same question and then you'd have to tell me....

Isuppose I could divulge the answer for you Kev.
(I would definitely consider you HIGH life scum who doesn't know the answer)


It's actualy quite simple using the following properties in config.pro:


smt_bend_notes_order
Defines the format of the bend note
smt_bend_notes_direction_up
Defines the UP status for the parameter &direction
smt_bend_notes_direction_down
Defines the DOWN status for the parameter &direction


For example, here is what we did to setup our new standard:


smt_bend_notes_direction_up
UP
smt_bend_notes_direction_down
DOWN
smt_bend_notes_order
BEND &angle &direction


Result is "BEND 90.00

Hi,

Is there anyway we could customize the decimal places of bend angle to be 0. ie. BEND 90. (No decimal places by default)

Thanks

I have the same question that sriganesh has, but also, can you change the angle from complementary to included? Our standard is to show the included angle, and we haven't found a way to automate it, so we always type a manual note. Causes issues anytime something changes!
