As long as you are in text entry mode (indicated by the flashing text cursor), you can
click at any position in the text field. You can select parts of the text by dragging the
mouse in the text field, and apply the usual Cut, Copy, or Paste commands. Press
Return, or click anywhere outside the text field, to exit text entry mode.
Each text object (except text in the header, or at—or outside—the page margins) is
saved as a meta event within a particular MIDI region, at a certain bar position. This
position can be seen in the help tag, as you insert the text object. Text events are also
visible in the Event List, allowing you to change their position, but not the text itself.
∏
Tip: You can simultaneously add text to several staffs. This is handy if you want to
insert the text “accelerando al fine,” for example, into all instruments. Text entry into
several staffs at once works as per other objects (see “
Simultaneous Input of Objects
into Several Regions ” on page 706).
