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. The flashing text cursor will reappear.
Deleting Text Objects
As with all other objects, selected Text objects (or selected text inside a Text object) can
be deleted by pressing Backspace.
Copying Text Objects
Copying entire Text objects can be done with the usual methods:
• Copy/Paste, Multiple Paste and Paste at original Position
• Option-dragging, but this 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.
Given this behavior, Global Text can only be inserted and seen in Page Edit view. The
most obvious example of a Global Text object is a song name header line.
Input of Global Text
A Text object is automatically made “global” if inserted into one of the following areas
on the page:
• In the Header space (which is set in Layout > Global Format)
• Outside, or directly on, any of the page margin lines
Following insertion of a Text object in one of these areas, and text entry, you will see an
Event Parameter box that contains some additional parameters:
Pages
Defines the pages that text will be displayed on:
1 = first page, 2 = all pages except the first one, Odd = all pages with odd numbers,
Even = all pages with even numbers, All =all pages.
Zone
The margin area that the text belongs to/is associated with: Top, Header, Side, Footer.
Align
You’ll find two additional alignment options in this pull-down menu: for right and left
alignment. You may select between alignment at the set page margin, or at the
outermost possible position. Although alignments relating to bar positions are shown
in the pull-down menu, they cannot be selected here.
