These work as per regular Text objects.
Positioning of Global Text
Following insertion into one of the margin areas, Global Text can be moved anywhere
on the page with the mouse. The regular mouse cursor (the Pointer tool) only allows
vertical movement of a Global Text object. Hold down Option to move it horizontally.
Automatic Text Objects
The Text group in the Part box contains four objects which represent names that are
automatically displayed, if inserted:
SEQ = Sequence/Folder: displays the name of the current Display Level. This can be a
MIDI Region, a folder, or even the name of the song file (on the highest level).
INSTR: The name of the currently displayed Instrument Set (see “Instrument Sets and
Score Display Levels” on page 401)
SONG: The name of the song file
DATE: The current date (at the time of printout)
These automatic Text objects can be inserted as both Global Text (in the margin areas),
or as Text objects that are related to a bar position (in one of the staves/Regions). The
appearance and exact positioning of these objects can be set in the Event Parameter
box.
An Automatic Text Example
Insert the INSTR object above the top margin (centered, Pages set to 2). It will
automatically be treated as a Global Text object. Now, create an Instrument Set (see
“Instrument Sets and Score Display Levels” on page 401) named “Score” in the
Instrument Set window. If you use this Instrument Set, a “Score” line will appear at the
top of every page, except the first one. If you now extract parts for the individual
instruments, each part will display the (track) instrument’s name at the top of every
page, except the first one.
