In older versions of Passport software, one could insert a special character, e.g. a copyright notice character, by using a character sequence like “ALT” “0169”. That doesn’t appear to work anymore. Checking current tables for ASCI characters, it appears that special character 169 may now be a “circle R” for Registered, and 184 may now be the special character for “circle C”. Any ideas on how to insert this special character into a Copyright Notice would be appreciated. Checking the user manual for Encore, I could see in the embedded illustration for the Copyright Notice Text Element on page 142, that the example included the use of “circle c”, but no explanation anywhere I could find on how to insert these special characters into text.

March 7, 2026 at 6:01 am #5017I had no problem using (on the “text elements” screen) ALT+0169 to insert a circle-C .
Success might depend on the specified font, I tried with Arial, Verdana, Calibri and a few others (Font is specified on the same panel).Note that the mandatory use of this kind of copyright mention is linked to the US laws up to 1989.
Nowayadays, it is still (widely) used as an (unofficial) cautionary indication with little legal effect.
See WikipediaAnd still, be sure to use it only for scores of which you are the actual composer!
