578 Chapter 16 Score Editor

After you have inserted the text object at the desired position and released the mouse

button, a flashing text cursor appears at that position. Now you can enter text with the

computer keyboard. The basic functions for moving the cursor, deleting parts of the

text and so on are the same as in most word processors.

As long as you are in text entry mode (indicated by the flashing text cursor), you can

click on any position in the text to place the cursor there. You can also select parts of

the text by dragging the mouse, and applying the usual cut/copy/paste commands. To

leave text entry mode, press Enter, or click anywhere outside the text.

After this, the newly inserted or edited text object is selected (the entire text flashes),

and you can see its parameters in the Event Parameter box:

Stave

is only relevant in multi-stave Score Styles. It determines which staff the Text object is

assigned to. The vert.pos parameter measures the vertical distance to the top line of

the staff, which is indicated here. hor.pos indicates the graphic horizontal deviation of

the selected text object from its actual bar position (also in relation to the Align

parameter).

Lyric On

defines the text object as a Lyric Event (song text). If a Lyric Event is placed at the same

bar position as a note (above or below it), the horizontal distance to the previous and

subsequent notes or rests is automatically expanded, so that there is enough space for

the text.

Style

The Text Style of the selected text object.

Align

Determines the horizontal alignment of the Text object. The first three settings relate to

the bar position, the last three to the position on the page (each left, centered, or

right).
