Size, Font

Here you can change the size and font for each individual Text object, independent of

the initially chosen Text Style, which serves as the default setting.

You can also change the settings for font, size, style, and alignment of Text objects with

the sub-menus in the Text menu, while the desired Text objects are selected.

Generally, you should not make those changes here, but rather create new Text Styles

in the Text Style window, which then are also available for other Text objects.

Simultaneous Text Input into Several Staves

This works the same way with Text objects as with other objects (see “Simultaneous

Input of Objects into Several Sequences” on page 492).

Example: insertion of the text “accelerando al fine” into all instruments at once.

Editing Text

If a Text object is selected, its parameters can be edited in the Event Parameter Box. If

you want to edit the text itself, either click on it with the Text tool or double-click on it

with the Pointer tool, which will cause the flashing text cursor to appear again.

Deleting Text Objects

Like all other objects, Text objects (or selected text inside a Text object) can be deleted

by pressing Backspace, as soon as they are selected.

Copying Text objects

Copying whole Text objects can be done with the usual methods:

• Copy/Paste also Multiple Paste and Paste at original Position

• Dragging with the mouse while holding Option. This, however, only works inside the

same MIDI Region.

Global Text

Global Text objects appear in all Instrument Sets of a song (score, parts, and so on),

although they are inserted just once. The position of Global Text does not relate to bar

positions (unlike regular Text objects), but is defined as a graphic position on the page.

Because of this, Global Text can only be inserted and seen in Page Edit view. The most

obvious example of a Global Text object is a header line with the song’s name.

Input of Global Text

A Text object is automatically global if it is inserted into one of the following areas on

the page:

• In the Header space (which is set in Layout > Global Format)

• Outside, or directly at one of the page margin lines

After you have inserted a Text object in one of these areas, and finished text entry, you

will see an Event Parameter box with some additional parameters:

1 2 ... 574 575 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 ... 729 730
